本书是我国第一部研究汉语离合词的专著，也是第一部研究汉语言单位的专著。其独创性如下：
一、汉语的语素、词和短语都不是形式单位，而是功能单位。本书的研究证明：汉语的语素、词和短语之间在功能上并不存在泾渭分明的界限，而是一个连续不断的整体。
二、汉语的词不同于印欧语的词。汉语的语素、词和短语三级语言单位是寄生在汉语单字和字组身上的意义功能单位。
三、离合词在意义上是一个不可分割的统一体，在结构上是由两个音节字连接而成的组合体。

The next century will see more than half of the world’s 6,000 languages become extinct, and most of these will disappear without being adequately recorded. Written by one of the leading figures in language documentation, this fascinating book explores what humanity stands to lose as a result. Explores the unique philosophy, knowledge, and cultural assumptions of languages, and their impact on our collective intellectual heritage Questions why such linguistic diversity exists in the first place, and how can we can best respond to the challenge of recording and documenting these fragile oral traditions while they are still with us Written by one of the leading figures in language documentation, and draws on a wealth of vivid examples from his own field experience Brings conceptual issues vividly to life by weaving in portraits of individual ‘last speakers’ and anecdotes about linguists and their discoveries

This book presents a radical reconceptualization of the nature of linguistic knowledge. John Taylor challenges the conventional notion that a language can be understood in terms of the interaction of syntax with a lexicon, the second listing the words and the first the rules for combining them. He proposes instead that an individual's knowledge of a language can be thought of as a repository of memories of linguistic experience. Each encounter with the language, he argues, leaves a trace in our minds. We record the forms of utterances, the concepts and interpretations associated with them, and the contexts in which they were heard or seen. Features of incoming language - a word, a phrase, a meaning, a voice quality, an interactional situation - resonate with items already stored. Similarities between stored items give rise to generalizations of varying degrees of certainty and precision, which in turn are able to sanction new and innovative expressions.
John Taylor writes with conviction, clarity, and wit, illustrating every stage of his argument with arresting examples. His account makes a profound and original contribution to understanding the nature of language and the operations of the mind and brain. His book will appeal in equal measure to linguists, philosophers, and cognitive scientists.

本书研究词汇化现象及其规律。词汇化指非词形式在发展过程中变为词的过程。除联绵词和音译词之外的双音词在历史上的产生主要是词汇化的结果。汉语双音词的词汇化主要有三条途径：从短语降格而来；从由语法性成分参与形成的句法结构发展出来；从本来不在同一句法层次上但在线性顺序上紧邻的两个成分所形成的跨层结构中脱胎出来。词汇化的发生要受到句法、语义和语用因素的制约。词汇化是一个连续渐进的过程，不同的形式可能具有不同的词汇化程度。

《汉语词汇史新探续集》收入作者汪维辉2009年以来发表的论文30篇（其中有4篇系与朋友或学生合撰），大致按内容分为五组：*组7篇，属于理论探讨及治学经验之类，有点杂；第二组5篇，是作者承担的国家社科基金项目“汉语核心词的历史与现状研究”（11BYY062）的部分成果，讨论了6个核心词的现状与历史；第三组5篇，是汉语词汇史的一些个案研究；第四组7篇，每篇讨论一种或两种文献的语言或成书年代等问题，兼有词汇史和语料学的性质；第五组6篇，是词语考释，属于训诂学范畴。这些文章是*次结集出版，没有收入过作者之前的论文集。

There are no direct records of the original Indo-European speech. By comparing the vocabularies of its various descendants, however, it is possible to reconstruct the basic Indo-European roots with considerable confidence. In The Origins of English Words, Shipley catalogues these proposed roots and follows the often devious, always fascinating, process by which some of their offshoots have grown. Anecdotal, eclectic, and always enthusiastic, The Origins of English Words is a diverting expedition beyond linguistics into literature, history, folklore, anthropology, philosophy, and science.

大型双语词典之编纂特性研究：以《英汉大词典》编纂为例，ISBN：9787532754502，作者：陆谷孙，王馥芳 著

《法语词汇分类学习小词典》是一本词汇分类学习的小型工具书，收入约7000条词语表达，分类从交际需要和语言自身特点出发，涉及现代社会生活的方方面面。全书由9大类44个小类构成。分类词条，法语列在每页的中间，汉语在左侧，英语在右侧。汉语意思对应于法语，排列顺序按照汉语拼音，相关条目、概念或者具体使用归列在主词条项下。书中附有有法-汉词汇索引。全书使用双色印刷，版面清晰，查阅便捷。

系统性。本教程系统地讲解了汉语语法的词法与句法，全书分4章讲词法，6章讲句法，3章讲语法与语义、语法与语音。全书以核心(head)为纲，在绪论中指明核心决定着结构体的类别和与之共现的成分，其他各章围绕着核心的作用展开。比如说第一章以偏正结构与动宾结构的复合词为例展示核心决定复合词的类别；第二章以把字句、状态补语为例展示功能核心的选择作用，并讲解了“功能范畴假设”和限制嫁接方向的“嫁接与移位同向假设”；随后各章就根据这两条假设讲解动词短语、句子、名词短语、形容词短语、并列短语、语法与语义、语法与语音，并以此反哺构词法。
学术性。本教程适用于高年级本科生，也适用于汉语言文字学、语言学及应用语言学等相关专业的硕士生，他们有一定的汉语语法基础，所以针对这些学生的教材宜强调学术性。比如说两个语言单位的语序，两个语言单位在进行组合时，谁在前谁在后。逻辑上存在两种可能，为了限制组合的方向，本教程提出“嫁接与移位同向假设”，为满足该假设，本教程提出“词汇核心在后，所有扩展它的功能核心在前”。再比如说选择性，汉语的“吃”除了跟食物这样的受事组合，还可以跟工具(“吃大碗”)、处所(“吃食堂”)等组合，为解释这种现象，本教程提出了“功能范畴假设”。这些假设有一定的解释力和限制力。
当代性。高等学校语言学科的基础教材一般是以结构主义语言学的理论为基础，但西方语言学已经发展出生成语法、认知语法等学术流派，并以生成语法为主流。本教程以生成语法的近期理论“最简方案”为基础描写、解释汉语的一些重要的语法现象，主要意图是让学生尽早接触当代语言学的理论、观念与技术手段。

《汉语义类词群的语义范畴及隐喻认知研究(1)》从隐喻（包括转喻）的认知模式讨论词义发展的内在机制，开启了一个全新的视角，给人以耳目一新的感觉。全书共九章，除引论外，分别对 “心”“目”“口”“足”“水”“艸”“糸”“犬”词群进行语义范畴及隐喻认知分析对比。《汉语义类词群的语义范畴及隐喻认知研究(1)》的研究建立在“范畴化理论”“原型理论”“家族相似性理论”等与认知有关的基础理论之上，这些都是比较前沿的研究成果，把这些国外的理论与汉语的实际相结合，使之“本土化”，能够加深我们对汉语的认识。

《词义的分析和描写》想在语言学的范围内讨论词义的分析和描写。词义的分析和描写历来被认为是语言学中最困难的问题之一。虽然如此，仍然有为数不少的人在语言学研究中，在词典编纂工作中，在语文教学中进行了多方面的探索，积累了相当丰富的认识和经验。国外越来越多的语言学、语义学著作在国内得到流传和介绍，也开阔了我们的眼界。为了总结和探索词义分析、描写的理论和方法，作者从1981年起在北京大学汉语专业开设“词义分析”课，1986年应邀在北京语言学院语文系讲课，1987年应邀赴新疆大学讲课，也讲授了其中的一部分或大部分内容。《词义的分析和描写》就是在历次讲课所用讲稿的基础上加工修改写成的。

《现代汉语词汇》如何把现代汉语词汇的教学和研究提高一步，是许多同志都关心的问题，《现代汉语词汇》除了吸收这门课的原有内容外，还尝试在词义、词义分类、词义发展、词义和构成它的语素义的关系、词的释义等问题上提出一些意见和做法。

《辞书研究丛书：汉语中的日语借词研究》阐释了日语借词概貌、特点与影响，借词的研究所意义。

The Longman Essential Activator is a dictionary with a difference. It's a production dictionary. Your students won't just 'like' this dictionary, they'll 'be crazy about it'!

In Lexical Analysis, Patrick Hanks offers a wide-ranging empirical investigation of word use and meaning in language. The book fills the need for a lexically based, corpus-driven theoretical approach that will help people understand how words go together in collocational patterns and constructions to make meanings. Such an approach is now possible, Hanks writes, because of the availability of new forms of evidence (corpora, the Internet) and the development of new methods of statistical analysis and inferencing. Hanks offers a new theory of language, the Theory of Norms and Exploitations (TNE), which makes a systematic distinction between normal and abnormal usage -- between rules for using words normally and rules for exploiting such norms in metaphor and other creative use of language. Using hundreds of carefully chosen citations from corpora and other texts, he shows how matching each use of a word against established contextual patterns plays a large part in determining the meaning of an utterance. His goal is to develop a coherent and practical lexically driven theory of language that takes into account the immense variability of everyday usage and that shows that this variability is rule governed rather than random. Such a theory will complement other theoretical approaches to language, including cognitive linguistics, construction grammar, generative lexicon theory, priming theory, and pattern grammar.
