This journal focuses on the semantic analysis of language, exploring how meaning is structured and conceptualized. It examines word meanings, including polysemy and semantic deviation, and investigates how spatial relations, motion events, and abstract concepts like force dynamics are encoded linguistically. The journal also addresses the interplay between language, cognition, and cultural or historical factors, and analyzes the use of linguistic devices like metaphors and ideophones across various languages.
