The status of the lexicon in speaker-centered theories

These theories differ from other theories, in so far as they seek to analyse languages through attested utterances. As a result, they try to take into account the context of the utterances, the relationship between the speaker and the co-speaker, as well as the conversational data involved, in order to explain their form and how their interpretation is construed.

This issue of E-Lexis aims to explore the extent to which these theoretical choices have an impact on the way the lexicon is envisaged and how the relations between lexicon, syntax, morphology, phonology, pragmatics, semantics are organised. Are these domains independent or do they interact?

A number of previous studies have focussed on the search to define an “invariant” or “basic value”, underlying various phenomena, and it is necessary to establish whether it is through these particular analyses that the lexicon has found its place in the theory.

What is a lexical unit in this approach? What is its status?

Using contextualised examples, the articles can propose specific analyses, in order to understand divergences from other theoretical approaches, or possible similarities. They can also consider related epistemological questions.
