<DIV>Call Deadline: 20-Dec-2006 <BR><BR>The first issue of Lexis, E-Jounal in
English Lexicology (<A href=""><FONT
color=#000000>http://screcherche.univ-lyon3.fr/lexis</FONT></A>), will deal
with<BR>'Polysemy'; Catherine Paulin, University of Besançon, and Henri Béjoint,
University of Lyon, are in charge of this issue. Abstracts and articles will be
sent via email at <A href=""><FONT
color=#000000>lexis@univ-lyon3.fr</FONT></A><BR><BR> The first
issue of Lexis will be devoted to polysemous lexical units. 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:
<BR><BR>- Etymological: homonymy versus polysemy <BR>- Metonymic and
metaphorical relations <BR>- Syntactic relations: compounding, conversion,
argumental structures.<BR><BR> Contributions centered around componential
analysis, semantic restriction or enlargement are welcome. Contributors are also
invited to confront semic analysis with the notion of an invariant semantic core
value.<BR><BR>If you want to submit an article for the first issue, you can send
either detailed abstracts, or completed articles. Some guidelines can be found
below: <BR><BR>- June 2006: call-for-papers<BR>- Mid-December 2006: deadline to
