Conceptual Structure
SEMANTICS: an autonomous level of cognitive representation postulated by
Ray Jackendoff, representing concepts in terms of a small number of conceptual
primitives. 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 verbs and sentences, see
localism).
Lexical conceptual structure
is conceptual structure as determined by the
argument structure of verbs.
