<DD>Dear Fritz,
<DD>There's lots of work on prototype analyses of polysemous words in the
linguistic (rather than lexicographical or metalexicographical)
literature. If you're interested in an attempt to systematically chart the
relevance of prototype theory for lexicography (in a somewhat more
theoretical mode than Patrick's reply), you might have a look at my paper
"The definitional practice of dictionaries and the Cognitive Semantic
conception of polysemy". Lexicographica</I> 17: 6-21, 2001.
<DD>Best wishes,
<DD>Dirk Geeraerts<BR><BR><BR><BR></DD><TT></DL></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE><!-- |**|end egp html banner|**| --></TT>
