Sémantique cognitive de l'action : 1. contexte théorique
Abstract
This paper presents the results of a study associating linguists and psychologists interested in the representation of
the meaning of lexical items. The different theories proposed in the literature are discussed : semantic primitives,
componential analysis, schemas... A general conception of a cognitive analysis of meaning is proposed : The
Applicative and Cognitive Grammar. In this theory different levels of representation are defined : primitives which are
the basic components of the description of meaning, semantico-cognitive schemes which are organizations of
semantic primitives and which represent a given acceptation of a lexical item in a given context, cognitive archetypes
which represent the structure of the different acceptations of a lexical item, and semantico-cognitive fields which
represent the similarities of meaning of groups of lexical items .
