syntagmatic

The syntagmatic and paradigmatic axes of productivity: An application to the onomasiological model of word-formation.

This paper aims to analyse the syntagmatic extension of multiple affixation (at least three suffixes) in contemporary Portuguese productive patterns (Rio--Torto et al.

In a valuable, albeit problematic, book about Theodor de Bry's late 16th-century copperplate engravings of the Americas, Bernadette Bucher makes a startling claim, that in the visual, negation is impossible: "it is impossible to portray a thing by what it is not: it is present or absent, and if it appears, it is always positively, in a certain shape." (11) Bucher's proposition is that language, with its syntagmatic concatenation can easily negate (as Montaigne's famous observation when contemplating earlier images of the Tupinamba, "What, they're not wearing breeches" illustrates).

Poetry arguably solicits negative capability, that ever-elusive capacity, more directly than any other art form: Precisely because language is the medium of reason and sense, when it loosens the tethers of ordinary intelligibility, we must grapple with the challenge of what Keats called "being in uncertainties." In Phillipson's art, poetry models a way of being in uncertainties in a world that is uncertain indeed: the radically precarious, crumbling structure and wildly overstimulated sensorium of late-late capitalism, the world that is inevitably represented, as microcosm, in work like Phillipson's--for she is of course far from the only artist bringing together sublimely syntagmatic arrays of twenty-first-century junk.

In addition, as suggested by Miestamo (2008: 33), the relationship between form and meaning can be investigated both at the paradigmatic and syntagmatic level.

This paradigmatic approach should be completed by a series of closer, more syntagmatic considerations, i.e.

The description of these English terms follows the two semantic dimensions, the paradigmatic and the syntagmatic axes.

Then, the contents of the story were examined analytically through syntagmatic and paradigmatic analysis (Gubrium & Holstein, 1998; Jovchelovitch & Bauer, 2000; Mischler, 1992) to look for storyline and plot across all lessons as evidenced through the description of salient events.

Ultimate syntagmatic units have an extremely high binding degree of their components.

The forcefulness of the play on COME OVER is surely the effect of the success in providing equally powerful contexts for primary and secondary meanings of the phrasal verb, which is, in turn, achieved by virtue of the syntagmatic / horizontal arrangement of the pun components at play, where contexts for S1 and S2 are developed individually, i.e., in separate sequences and by different characters.

Foregrounding is achieved by a variety of means which are grouped under two main headings: deviation and repetition; or paradigmatic and syntagmatic foregrounding respectively (Leech 1965).

Starting from the Saussurean distinctions between langue and parole, signifier and signified, syntagmatic and paradigmatic, Barthes extends semiotics beyond the linguistic system, making it applicable also to other non-linguistic phenomena, like garment, food or cars systems.

Goffin (1994:638) seems to accept this definition, as he emphasizes the fact that this language, despite its specificity does not differentiate itself from other lectes (such as technolectes, chronolectes or regilectes) either due to its semantic characteristics, its syntagmatic and morphological mechanisms or to its syntactical constructions.

The syntagmatic axis is subordinated to the paradigmatic one, by means of a "challenging superabundance of rhetorical manipulation, allusion and borrowing" (Johnson 2011: 61).
