| Summary: | In today’s world, people are aware of the enormous amount of toxic chemical products that many foods contain. They are therefore increasingly focussing on organic products and everything to do with organic production. At the same time, organic science has also emerged, in the context of which many essential questions concerning the healthy and natural development of living beings are discussed. The confix bio-, used in various contexts, has become a polysemous lexeme under these circumstances. This article therefore attempts to analyse the polysemy of the German confix bio-. The aim of the analysis is to examine its mental representations of meanings in different areas of life as well as its possible uses in technical language. The starting point of the analysis is the prototypical meaning of the confix bio- in order to arrive at conceptualisations of its meaning extensions on this basis. The study focusses on nominal compounds and adjectival derivations with bio-. It is based on the lexical semantics approaches, taking into account the conceptualisation issues according to the cognitive theory of Ronald Langacker (2008), George Lakoff and Mark Johnson (1980/2003, 2011). The last point of the analysis is the development of a polysemic network of the confix bio-. The analyses were carried out on the basis of a linguistic corpus taken from German dictionaries, newspapers and magazines. |
