3.2. The Semantic Structure of the Word
Key words: semantic (lexical) ambiguity, semantic derivation, polysemy, homonymy, lexico-semantic variation, semantic processes: metaphor, metonymy, extension (generalization, broadening), restriction (specialization, narrowing) amelioration (elevation), perjoration (deterioration, degradation), epidigmatic ties, context.
Look up these terms in the glossary or in the sources indicated in the bibliography to the glossary. Compare the definitions given in English and in Russian.
Problems for Discussion
Semantic derivation: its causes, types and functions.
Semantic ambiguity: polysemy vs. homonymy. Criteria and linguistic frequency.
Semantic processes:
a) based on the change of denotation: metaphoric, metonymic transfers; extension (generalization, broadening), restriction (specialization, narrowing) of meaning;
based on the change of connotation: amelioration (elevation) and perjoration (deterioration) of meaning.
The semantic structure of a polysemantic word:
a) patterned polysemy of English words,
b) types of meanings within the semantic structure of a polysemantic word,
c) semantic relations within the semantic structure of a polysemantic word, and their types,
d) arrangement of meanings within the semantic structure of a polysemantic word: radial and chain structures.
Polysemy and context.
The semantic structures of correlative words.
