Chapter: The Notion of a Multilingual Meaning Potential: A Systemic Exploration

DOI: 10.1558/equinox.45228

Blurb:

Matthiessen discusses the notion of a multilingual meaning potential as part of a general theory of language. He begins by locating the notion of a meaning potential in an ordered typology of systems, then he introduces the notion of a multilingual version of the meaning potential, and builds up a possible model starting with fairly simple cases and moving towards greater complexity.
