componential analysis

There is a model of word-meaning (called componential analysis) which depends on binary oppositions.

Componential analysis is a method typical of structural semantics which analyzes the structure of a word's meaning.

The other kinds of analysis are taxonomic analysis, componential analysis, and theme analysis.

His position later became the bedding ground for other theories such as Componential analysis and Relational Predicates.

On one hand, componential analysis gave birth to various models in generative semantics, lexical field theory and transformational grammar.

In componential analysis it is usually taken as an obvious primitive feature, so that a word like wife would have the feature [-male].

Structuralism also influenced a number of developments in 1960s and 1970s, including cognitive anthropology and componential analysis.

He also developed Ralph Linton's Status/Role theory, also applying a structural componential analysis.

Reference should be made to some of the following topics:- structural semantics, lexis, semantics and grammar, componential analysis, generative semantics, universal semantics.

But the meaning of the item mensa (table) clearly includes, in the terms of componential analysis, a [-animate]feature, ruling out any semantic feminine element.

Structural semantics and the componential analysis were patterned on the phonological methods of the Prague School, which described sounds by determining the absence and presence of features.

Ethnosemantics, ethnographic semantics, ethnographic ethnoscience, formal analysis, and componential analysis are the terms that apply to the practice of ethnoscience.

Objects as categories may, however, be related more to the fuzzy logic of normative and peripheral forms than to the contrastive logical approach of componential analysis and binary opposition (Kempton 1981; Rosch 1978).

Componential analysis, also called feature analysis or contrast analysis, refers to the description of the meaning of words through structured sets of semantic features, which are given as "present", "absent" or "indifferent with reference to feature".

They include componential analysis of long components in phonology, componential analysis of morphology, discontinuous morphemes, and a substitution-grammar of phrase expansions that is related to immediate-constituent analysis, but without its limitations.

From the evidence of componential analysis, it is one of certain linguists' fundamental rules; and extrapolating a little with the observations of Mead, de Beauvoir and Cixous in mind, it is a fundamental rule among sexist Western thinkers down the ages.

An expert on Trukese kinship, his best known work is the development of a method for applying componential analysis to the study of kinship terminology, and his disagreements with David M. Schneider about the value of formal analyses of Kinship terminology.

The only rule in componential analysis is that every opposition must be classified by plus or minus values on a single dimension;[ +/;- female]would be equally valid, and the fact that the analysts chose the other alternative doubtless reflects their (predictable) perception that men are the norm of humanity.
