À la recherche du substrat cognitif du submorphème SM- by Line Argoud

“…From the definitions of ‘sm- words’ attested in the Oxford English Dictionary and the English Dialect Dictionary, I shall endeavour to show that the phonological invariance of this heuristically-formed class corresponds to a submorphemic invariance which may be traced back to a very ancient process of conceptualization of the human body. Drawing on various approaches of cognitive linguistics (Lakoff & Johnson, Langacker, Heine, Sweetser), I suggest a description of the way the brain conceptualizes the referents of ‘sm- words’, and I shall show the convergence with the etymological data.Ultimately, I claim that the meanings of most ‘sm- words’ access mental representations relating on the one hand to experiential information collected by the nose and/or the mouth, and on the other hand to physical expressions of emotions through movements or positions of these two body parts. …”
