| Citazioni | An episememe is a class of semantically related episemes (i.e. alloepisemes) which constitute the meaningful relationships between the immediate constituents of a construction. Every construction in a language possesses an episememe. Since most constructions are binary [...], it is convenient to describe the episememes by identifying the semantic components of the constituent parts. |
