Two contrasting views of the role of lexical meaning in the analysis of such variation can be found in the literature: (i) uniformity, whereby lexical meaning is universal, and variation arises from idiosyncratic differences in the inventory and phonological shape of language-particular functional material, and (ii) transparency, whereby systematic variation in form arises from systematic variation in the meaning of basic lexical items UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198744580.001.0001 UR - http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=029670993&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA UR - http://www.doabooks.org/doab?func=fulltext&uiLanguage=en&rid=21823 ER -
