Description
Summary:This article aims at comparing three various modes or representation of the polysemy of a lexical item : a semasiological grid, map or tree. The choice of the semasiological tree is illustrated with three verbs belonging to an etymological phylum, that of lat. tornare (“to design soth on a potter’s lathe”), Fr. tourner, It. tornare and Engl. to turn as well as their derivatives and compounds. Originating in the unique meaning of lat. tornare, each of the three verbs built up its semantic space according to the set of its competitors including the morphologically related verbs.
