Abstract

SEMANTIC FIELD IN LINGUISTICS: A COGNITIVE APPROACH. DIFFICULTIES In the history of linguistics, the second half of the 20th century was marked by reflections on human language and human knowledge. In this context, the meaning of the word is assessed within a network of paradigmatic relationships, structured in glottic or extraglottic microsystems. This article contains a synthesis of dissensions of opinions regarding the semantic field. The proposed objective requires the revelation of some aspects from adjacent fields, focused on the application of interdisciplinary methods. From this perspective, modern linguistics indicates multiple confluences with both psychology and sociology, as well as with computer science or mathematics. Even if there are various controversies and difficulties in approaching this dilemma, the semantic field conclusively demonstrates the famous postulate on language as a “system of systems”, in which all constituent elements complement each other. Keywords: lexico-semantic field, psycho-cognitive process, entropy, synergy, informational volume etc.
