THE CONCEPT OF LEXICAL - SEMANTIC FIELD

Summary/Abstract: The issue of defining the lexical fields caught the attention of numerous linguists from Romania and abroad. The current article analyzes the concept of lexical-semantic field and presents some viewpoints regarding these primary paradigmatic structures. Basic concepts used in the analysis of a lexical-semantic field are defined and exemplified, analysis in which the common semes of the lexemes that make up the respective field are identified, but also the variable ones. The semantic analysis of the fields, in which the semantic oppositions are also noticed, is based on dictionaries. The particularities of the lexicon’s structure are highlighted also through the description of the lexical-semantic fields.
