About fifty years ago, Stephen Ullmann wrote that polysemy is 'the pivot of semantic analysis'. Fifty years on, polysemy has become one of the hottest topics in linguistics and in the cognitive sciences at large. The book deals with the topic from a wide variety of viewpoints.

The chapters, written by some of the most eminent specialists in the field, are all underpinned by detailed discussions of methodology and theory.
