Interdisciplinary in nature, it provides insights beyond semantics and lexicology, commenting on the politics, history, economy and culture of the region. Its thorough analysis of 'Eastern Europe' as a linguistic entity, surrounded and affected by other linguistic entities, allows for a systematic description of the term's linguistic 'behaviour' in specialist written discourse. The author measures the 'quantity' and 'quality' of 'Eastern Europe' in specialist discourse, painting a holistic picture of how it appears in English-language quality texts published in the last twenty-five years. This book will appeal to students and scholars of cognitive linguistics, semantics, lexicology and lexicography, and to specialists working on history, political theory and international relations as they relate to Eastern Europe. 606 $aSemiotics 606 $aLexicology 606 $aPsycholinguistics 606 $aRussia$xHistory 606 $aEurope, Eastern$xHistory 606 $aSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aComputational linguistics 606 $aPragmatics 606 $aSemiotics 606 $aLexicolopgy / Vocabulary 606 $aPsycholinguistics and Cognitive Lingusitics 606 $aRussian, Soviet, and East European History 606 $aComputational Linguistics 606 $aPragmatics 615 0$aSemiotics. 615 0$aLexicology. 615 0$aPsycholinguistics. 615 0$aRussia$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope, Eastern$xHistory. 615 0$aSoviet Union$xHistory. 615 0$aComputational linguistics. 615 0$aPragmatics. 615 14$aSemiotics. 615 24$aLexicolopgy / Vocabulary. 615 24$aPsycholinguistics and Cognitive Lingusitics. 615 24$aRussian, Soviet, and East European History. 615 24$aComputational Linguistics. 615 24$aPragmatics. 676 $a401.43 700 $aTwardzisz$b Piotr$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0950277 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300592603321 996 $aDefining ?Eastern Europe?$92148601 997 $aUNINA
