THE ROLE OF SEMANTIC COMPONENTS WITHIN THE SEMANTIC STRUCTURE OF LEXICAL MEANINGS AND WAYS OF ITS EXPLICATION


Author:  Z. A. Kharitonchik

Abstract
The significance and salience of various non-categorial components within the componential structure of the word meaning can be defined with the help of several purely linguistic procedures, viz.: 1) the analysis of most frequently profiled semantic components in various contexts, 2) the study of semantic components involved in derivational processes, and 3) the indication of the hypero-hyponymic structure level on which the semantic component of the word becomes prominent.

Keywords:  lexical meaning, semantic component, componential structure, method
