Unidades del lexicón
Las unidades del lexicón existen en la
memoria como un todo. A estas unidades se
les denomina entradas léxicas o lexemas.

Un patrón de construcción se almacena en el lexicón y
permite miles de expresiones.

¿Cómo es que algo se convierte en unidad en el
lexicón?
(Payne 2011:61)
Los verbos go y be pueden funcionar como
auxiliares o como verbos que introducen citas
textuales.
(Payne 2011:63)
Lexicalización
• Además de las palabras individuales, los ítems
léxicos pueden ser ensamblajes complejos.
Algunos de ellos han presentado tal desgaste
que se volvieron palabras individuales:

Lexicalización
Otros ítems del lexicón se pueden componer
de más de una palabra. Aún así son
almacenados como unidades léxicas:

Full lexical words & Grammatical Functors
(Payne 2011:67)
Full lexical words = parts of speech = lexical
classes = lexical categories = word classes = major
classes = phrasal categories.

Full lexical words
Nouns
The class of NOUNS includes words that
typically refer to entities that have clear
boundaries and are easily distinguished from
their environments, e.g., tree, king,
mausoleum, etc. These are concepts that tend
not to change very much over time, and which
can be referred to repeatedly in discourse as
the same thing.
(Payne 2011:71)
Verbs
The best examples of VERBS are words that
describe visible EVENTS that produce changes
in the world, e.g., die, run, break, cook,
explode.
(Payne 2011:71)
Adjectives
• An ADJECTIVE is a word that refers to an attribute, such as
color, size, shape, temperament, or other PROPERTY
CONCEPTS. When we think of adjectives, most of us think
of Modifiers of nouns within noun phrases, such as the
following:
(Payne 2011:72)
Adjectives
Another major function of adjectives is to
contribute to the main meaning of a predicate, as
in the following examples:

Adjectives
AGE (young, old . . .)
SPEED (fast, slow, quick . . .)
VALUE (good, bad . . .)
HUMAN PROPENSITY ( jealous, happy, clever, wary . . .)
DIMENSION (big, little, tall, short, long . . . )
SHAPE (round, square . . .)
COLOR (black, white, red . . .)
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS (hard, heavy, smooth . . .)
NATIONAL ORIGIN (Japanese, Hungarian, English . . .)
(Payne 2011:72-73)
Adverbs
Any full lexical word that isn’t clearly a noun, a
verb, or an adjective is often considered to be
an ADVERB. Semantically, forms that have
been called adverbs cover an extremely wide
range of concepts, and they have
correspondingly varied syntactic properties.
Also, sometimes adverbs function on the
clause or discourse level.
(Payne 2011:73)
Adverbs
MANNER ADVERBS (the way in which some activity is
carried out):
(Payne 2011:73)
Adverbs
TIME ADVERBS (the time when some activity
happens, or the frequency with it happens):
(Payne 2011:73)
Adverbs
EXTENT ADVERBS (the degree to which some
variable quality is asserted):
(Payne 2011:74)
Adverbs
EPISTEMIC ADVERBS (how likely or possible some
situation may be, or how the speaker obtained
the information):
(Payne 2011:74)
Adverbs
LOCATION ADVERBS (the place where a situation
occurs):
(Payne 2011:74)
Adverbs
HEDGING ADVERBS (disclaimers of responsibility):
(Payne 2011:74)
Grammatical functors
Auxiliaries
Auxiliaries constitute a closed, rather small set
of grammatical functors that play a very key
role in English syntax.
(Payne 2011:75)
Prepositions
Prepositions are grammatical functors that precede
determined noun phrases (DPs) to specify the
SEMANTIC ROLE of the DP to the rest of the clause.
They include words like above, at, in, of, with, around,
on, under, beside, through, inside, before, and opposite.
(Payne 2011:75)
Conjunctions
(Payne 2011:76)
Subtypes of conjunctions
COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS: conjoin two
units that are “equal” in terms of their syntactic
status, i.e., they must be of the same word class
or PHRASAL CATEGORY, and they must have the
same syntactic function. There are about six
words that can function as coordinating
conjunctions in english. These are: and, but, or,
for, then, and yet. There are also three or four
complex coordinating conjunctions, either . . . or,
neither… nor, and yet, and and then.
(Payne 2011:76
Subtypes of conjunctions
SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS: conjoin two
units that may have distinct syntactic
discourse functions. The unit that follows a
subordinating conjunction is DEPENDENT in
some way on the other unit. Subordinating
conjunctions include: after, because, although,
if, before, since, though, unless, when, now
that, even though, only if, while, as, whereas,
whether or not, since, in order that, while,
even if, until, so, in case, etc.
