• Resumen

  • Through the detailed analysis of the meaning definitions of different semantic sets of old English verbs and of their complementation patterns, I will propose a preliminary reconstruction of a basic set of synsem features, i.e. syntactic and semantic parameters which operate throughout the lexicon in the various areas of meaning. These features are divided into three basic types: obligatory, optional and contextual. Through the addition of a morphological component, I will propose some possible applications of Faber and Mairal's (1988) semantic-syntactic model to the analysis of the Anglo-Saxon vocabulary.
