onomasiological

And it was in Romance linguistics that the most important onomasiological works were written.

Homonymy can lead to communicative conflicts and thus trigger lexical (onomasiological) change.

Thus, an onomasiological question is, e.g., "what are the names for long, narrow pieces of potato that have been deep-fried?"

As their names indicate, the first two dictionaries are onomasiological; that is, they are organized by concept, while the first is organized by etymological families.

After World War II only few studies on onomasiological theory have been carried out (e.g. by Cecil H. Brown, Stanley R. Witkowski, Brent Berlin).

In theory, general dictionaries are supposed to be semasiological, mapping word to definition, while specialized dictionaries are supposed to be onomasiological, first identifying concepts and then establishing the terms used to designate them.

The level of feature analysis (and possibly the onomasiological level) can be spared if the speaker simply borrows a word from a foreign language or variety; it is also spared if the speaker simply takes the word s/he originally fell back to and just shortens it.
