Out of the wide range of topics in lexical semantics, I here focus on two: sense-relations and polysemy. The paper concludes with an illustration of how use of these tools can add nuance to our reading of the language of mollitia in Catullus 16. ven., 13 oct. 2023 15:31:09 +0200 ven., 08 déc. 2023 12:12:36 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/eugesta/1416
