The organization of the lexicon, and especially the relations between groups of lexemes is a strongly debated topic in linguistics. Some authors have insisted on the lack of any structure of the lexicon. In this vein, Di Sciullo Williams 1987 3 claim that the lexicon is like a prison - it contains only the lawless, and the only thing that its inmates have in commonis lawlessness. In the alternative view, the lexicon is assumed to have a rich structure that captures all regularities and partial regularities that exist between lexical entries.Two very different schools of linguistics have insisted on the organization of the lexicon. pThis work was published by Saint Philip Street Press pursuant to a Creative Commons license permitting commercial use.
