<p>from Utrecht Lexicon of Linguistics</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>In semantics, '''conceptual structure''' is an autonomous level of cognitive representation postulated by Ray Jackendoff, representing concepts in terms of a small number of conceptual primitives. <br /> <br /> ===Comments===<br /> Conceptual structure is related to syntactic and phonological structure on the one hand and other, non-linguistic levels of representation (e.g. vision) on the other hand. The theory of conceptual structure is ''decompositional'' (because it decomposes meanings in terms of conceptual primitives, see [[componential analysis]]), conceptualist (because it identifies meanings with concepts, i.e. mental entities, see [[meaning theories]]) and (in its origin) localistic (because it elaborates the idea that notions of location and movement are central in the semantic analysis of [[verb]]s and [[sentence]]s, see [[localism]]). [[Lexical conceptual structure]] is conceptual structure as determined by the [[argument structure]] of verbs.<br /> <br /> ===Link===<br /> [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Conceptual+Structure&amp;lemmacode=903 Utrecht Lexicon of Linguistics] <br /> <br /> ===See also===<br /> *[[componential analysis]]<br /> *[[localism]]<br /> *[[meaning theories]]<br /> <br /> ===References===<br /> *{{: Jackendoff 1983}}<br /> *{{: Jackendoff 1987}}<br /> *{{: Jackendoff 1990}}<br /> <br /> {{dc}}<br /> [[Category:Semantics]]</div>
