Outline 1. Semantic maps: a typology 2. Semantic maps with R: a case study of European analytic
causatives

Semantic maps • a popular tool in constructional (lexical) and semantic
typology

Semantic maps • a popular tool in constructional (lexical) and semantic
typology • represent polyfunctionality of linguistic expressions

Semantic maps • a popular tool in constructional (lexical) and semantic
typology • represent polyfunctionality of linguistic expressions • a convenient tertium comparationis of form-function
mappings across languages

Main principles • Nodes: A function is put on a map when there’s at least one
pair of languages which differ wrt. this function (Haspelmath 2003)
![Page 14: Semantic Maps: Catalogization and Comparison · Analytic Causatives: Examples • English: make + Vinf, let + Vinf, have + Vinf, cause + to-Vinf • German: lassen + Vinf ... •](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071010/5fc7fb1008925106ce2d8fd1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Main principles • Nodes: A function is put on a map when there’s at least one
pair of languages which differ wrt. this function (Haspelmath 2003)
• Links: the principle of connectivity (adjacency/contiguity): if a construction has more than one function, they should be connected (see van der Auwera 2013)

Intepretation • The main principle: the closer two points on the map, the
more overlapping constructions they share across the languages. From the isomorphism principle it follows that the corresponding situations are more semantically similar (on average), since more authors of the doculects chose identical constructions to represent these causative situations.

Selecting Links • the total number of links between all 6 nodes is 15 (these
functions co-occur in at least one construction in the data set) • However, not all of them are necessary because traditional
semantic maps allow for indirectly connected functions • A solution: semmap() function in Rling (available upon
request) to induce a semantic map which observes the principle of connectivity
• igraph package for graph building and visualization • several solutions may be possible, even with the minimum
number of links (7) , use random sampling to check
