[Lexicog] sense groupings

[Kim Blewett]

I'm certainly no expert, but it seems to me that this example could possibly be truly two senses in the native speaker's underlying grid, even though it seems not, to an outsider. Could you test with other speakers of the language?

  Dear all, 

   

  I have a question about sense groupings. In the following example, my national colleague and I have a disagreement over whether different spheres/semantic domains in which a word is used constitute separate sense groups.  What do you all think about it? Is it one sense group or two?

   

  \lx епті

  \ps adj

  \sn 1

  \ge skillful, wise, apt (of trades)

  \sn 2 

  \ge skillful, cunning (of social skills)

  \gd anstellig, gewandt, geschickt

  \nt This seems to be one meaning, but I question whether two senses are necessary (KCK)

   

  Looking forward to your comments with interest.
