La polysémie des noms d'affect

Résumé

The work presented in this article is a study of the polysemy of affect nouns in which we focus on regular variation of senses. We will try to point out the linguistic characteristics of this type of semantic variations and to determine if it gives rise to significant groups of nouns. We make the assumption that these variations of senses do not all have the same semantic status and that their characterization would give rise to elements of semantic structuration of a class of names.
