Introduction (I) • Polysemy: • The case of one lexical item having two or more related senses, all going back to a single etymological root. Examples: mouth; tail; fork • Lexical Priming • “Every word is primed for use in discourse as a result of the cumulative effects of an individual’s encounters with the word” (Hoey, 2005) Fanie Tsiamita
Introduction (III) • Lexical Priming – Its implications for polysemy • The senses of a polysemous lexical item will be disambiguated by their primings. • The more common sense may use the primings of the less common sense. The less common sense never will. • Two similarly common senses will avoid each other’s primings. • Where neither of the above applies, the effect will be humour, ambiguity or a new meaning combining the two senses. Fanie Tsiamita
Introduction (III) • Lexical Priming – Its implications for polysemy • The senses of a polysemous lexical item will be disambiguated by their primings. • The more common sense may use the primings of the less common sense. The less common sense never will. • Two similarly common senses will avoid each other’s primings. • Where neither of the above applies, the effect will be humour, ambiguity or a new meaning combining the two senses. Fanie Tsiamita
Methodology • BNC subcorpus <w fict prose> • 844 instances in a total of 432 texts ( 17,000,000 words) • Instances were grouped according to senses • dictionaries provided guidelines for the grouping • 12 senses found • Determination of the primings of the two most frequent senses of drive: • “journey in a car or other vehicle” (26%) • “wide piece of hard ground or private road leading from the road to a person’s house” (47%) Fanie Tsiamita
Drive (=journey) & drive (=private road) + determiners. Why? 1. The vast majority of instances of both senses co- occur with the definite / indefinite article: Fanie Tsiamita
Proportion of instances of drive (=journey) and drive (=private road) occurring with an article Fanie Tsiamita
And 2. While the instances of drive (=journey) show equal distribution between the two determiners, drive (=private road) co-occurs 9 times more frequently with the definite than with the indefinite article: Fanie Tsiamita
