Lexical concepts (i.e. semantic units conventionally associated with linguistic forms) are viewed in the article as structures consisting of interrelated facets (i.e. conceptual slots filled with various types of information about the referent) with different structural weight. The paper suggests a way to model the graded structure of lexical concepts by assessing the weight of each constituting facet according to its relevance for defining purposes, frequency of contextual profiling and salience in derivation processes. Thus, the approach taken exploits as many linguistic points of access to the concept as possible and uses three different dimensions to range its facets. The suggested idea is verified with a case study of some common lexical concepts in English (e.g. represented by concrete nouns such as “bird”, “tree”, etc.), which reveals both the advantages and the limitations of the approach taken.

The aim of the present research is to work out and test a model of lexical meaning in terms of the functional salience of its constituents, i.e. the frequency of profiling of semantic features in different aspects of word functioning: as an element in the language system (paradigmatic salience), in context (syntagmatic salience), and in the formation of derived units (derivational salience). These parameters, viewed as objective criteria to assess feature weights, are used to reconstruct the organization of semantic features in the meanings of some common English animal names.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest wypracowanie i przetestowanie modelu znaczenia leksykalnego odnośnie wyrazistości funkcjonalnej składników, tzn. częstotliwości profilowania cech semantycznych w różnych aspektach funkcjonowania słowa: jako element w systemie języka (wyrazistość paradygmatyczna), w kontekście (wyrazistość syntagmatyczna) oraz w tworzeniu jednostek derywacyjnych (wyrazistość derywacyjna). Elementy te – postrzegane jako obiektywne kryteria do oceny ważności cech – używane są do rekonstrukcji organizacji cech semantycznych znaczeń powszechnie występujących nazw zwierząt w języku angielskim.
