Lexeme
Lexical unit
Phraseme
Word
Sememe
Seme
Lexeme
-
a bilateral unit – form (written and/or spoken) + meaning (sememe and semes)
a family of lexical units
covers a polysemous word with all its individual meanings
originates in word-formation (e.g. by means of derivation – derivational affixes,
compounding, blending, etc.)
Lexical unit
-
the lexical unit as the union of a lexical form and a single sense
refers to one particular meaning of a polysemous word (= a combination of a signifiant
with one signifié within such a polysemous word)
-
originates in metonymy and metaphors
EXAMPLE 1
-
lexeme fox includes two lexical units: fox1 (animal) and fox2 (person)
EXAMPLE 2
-
the lexeme break: break1 (become not whole) vs break2 (cause become not whole).
TASK
Are the following words, lexemes or lexical units? Obey, obeys and obeyed.
Phraseme (phrase)
-
a one-word unit
a multi-word unit
refers to constructions from phraseology
does not refer to any of the grammatical terms (noun phrase, verb phrase, adjective
phrase, adverbial phrase, prepositional phrase)
Word vs lexeme
-
word = any free morpheme, lexical (nouns, verbs, adjectives) and/or morphological one
(conjunctions, prepositions, articles, etc.), regardless of its meaning and/or function
-
lexeme = must express a particular lexical meaning
-
word may only have a form (either spoken or written)
-
but lexeme must comprise of form and meaning
Sememe vs seme
-
the single meaning of a lexical unit
-
can be decomposed into semantic components, semantic elements or distinctive
features = semes
-
seme = the smallest semantic component
-
a complex or hierarchical configuration of semes
-
the method of decomposition of a sememe into semes = componential analysis.
