摘要:After carrying out a review of several theories which have been put forward for the analysis of lexical structure, this paper offers a research method for the study of a lexicon. The aim of the paper is to offer a description of the different steps followed by such a study, listing these steps from the selection of the Corpus to the structural organisation which a lexical study aims at. The paper also shows that the study of a lexicon ought to take the notion of conceptual field as its starting point.
