„In the past ten years, Andreas has worked on historical and cognitive semantics. In numerous contributions to international journals and conference proceedings he combined traditional approaches to semantic change, based on the categories of classical rhetoric, with recent insights from cognitive linguistics and associationist psychology. The importance of his work has been acknowledged within Romance philology as well as in general linguistics. His work on lexical semantics and cognitive onomasiology shows his perspicacity and his strong sense for the presentation of research results. It has made him the leading theorist of lexical semantic change. A textbook on lexical semantics (Tübingen: Niemeyer) is in print“ (Koch / Waltereit, 2001, 51).
