| Citazioni | In contrast to the "monosemy" case [...] we [...] say that a designatum may contain disjunctions between its components. Using A, B,... as signs and (c1 • c2 • ...) as their designata, we define:
( A (c1 V c2)
'Polysemy' (
( A [c1 • (c2 V c3)] etc.
[...]
In this presentation, the signs A, B, C... need to be words or even lesser segmental elements; grammatical processes, too, are given to polysemy [...]. |
