The aim of <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Lexis</I>, an e-journal with
an international scientific committee (ISSN 1951-6215) is to publish articles
about the English lexicon with 2 annual thematic issues, as well as a
« book-review » section and some special issues (conference
proceedings), from a synchronic as well as from a diachronic angle. If the
principal aim of the journal is the study of the English lexicon (its formation,
its morphology, its evolution, its links with the society, with culture, etc.),
the journal could also focus on the links between lexicology and morphology,
phonology, syntax, stylistics, etc. Contrastive studies – especially with French
– can also be dealt with. The journal will accept articles in English and in
French.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

The first issue of <I>Lexis</I> will be devoted to <STRONG><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Georgia">polysemous lexical units</SPAN></STRONG>. Polysemy,
an enriching word-formation process which is particularly active in natural
languages, will be studied in its diachronic and synchronic dimensions. All
contributions will focus on the semantic variation of lexical units, from
different angles and points of view: historical, discursive, situational and
distributional. Semantic change will be tackled in its different aspects:
