Corpus-based approaches to metaphor and metonymy
The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks as well as studies that provide new insights by building bridges to neighbouring fields such as neuroscience and cognitive science. The series considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the ecology and evolution of language.

Scribal Memory and Word Selection
What were ancient scribes doing when they copied a manuscript of
a literary work? This question is especially problematic when we
realize that ancient scribes preserved different versions of the
same literary texts. In Scribal Memory and Word Selection: Text
Criticism of the Hebrew Bible , Raymond F. Person Jr. draws
from studies of how words are selected in everyday conversation to
illustrate that the same word-selection mechanisms were at work in
scribal memory. Using examples from manuscripts of the Hebrew
Bible, Person provides new ways of understanding the
cognitive-linguistic mechanisms at work during the
composition/transmission of texts. Person reveals that, while our
modern perspective may consider textual variants to be different
literary texts, from the perspective of the ancient scribes and
their audiences, these variants could still be understood as the
same literary text.
