Documented Work

With over twenty published books, many of which have been translated into other languages, she is a prolific writer. Wierzbicka is known for her work in semantics, pragmatics and cross-cultural linguistics, especially for the natural semantic metalanguage and the concept of semantic primes. Her research agenda resembles Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's original "alphabet of human thought". The record is attributed to Anna Wierzbicka; it does not imply sole authorship of developments produced by a wider field or community.
