	Onomasiology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is most commonly understood as a branch of lexicology, the study of words.
		The opposite approach is known as semasiology: here one departs from a word and asks what it means, or what concepts the word refers to.
		By onomasiology many linguists automatically think of diachronic questions, i.e.

	Words and similar words and anacephalaeosis and epiphonema and epiphoneme and epanodos and onomasiology and orismology
		When studying words relating to "name" (onoma, see mini-essay on 'ass and names'), I came across onomasiology, a term that is easy to define but rather hard to conceptualize at first.
		Onomasiology is, primarily, a comparative venture in which linguists investigate the names and reasons for difference or similiarity in names for the same concepts in different cultures.
		While both orismology and onomasiology, therefore, study the words we use to name things, the former is just not worth spending any effort on--it simply means terminology--while the latter is very rich in its comparative, historical, and geographical significance.

		It is important to review the literature pertaining to the topic -- writings about onomasiology by linguists, lexicographers' writings on their experiences with computer assistance, reports on the state of the art of computer use in lexicography, and explanations of the contribution of computational linguistics and lexicology.
		The description of onomasiology and other possible enhancements is used in creating the model for the compilation of a baby- and child-care lexicon for this thesis and developing suggestions for other electronic dictionaries in the future.
		Onomasiology is described as a theory or method which starts by defining concepts.

	metaphorik.de 01/2001 Blank, Words and Concepts in Time
		Traditional onomasiology as well as the 19th century semasiological semantics have been strongly influenced by psychology and thus have more or less explicitely discussed a number of ideas that build now the fundament of modern cognitive semantics (cf.
		Cognitive onomasiology, thus, requires both, an enlarged sample of languages in order to avoid circularity and a deepened insight in diachronic lexical processes in order to understand processes of conceptualization that, by time, have become opaque.
		Combining diachronic lexicology with onomasiology and applying it to more than only one or a few languages can enable us to show empirically which conceptualizations are proper to a single or very few speech communities and which can be find universally and thus may match with a biological predisposition of man in perceiving the world.

	ONOMANTICS
		The word, onomasiology, has been used to identify any naming process, including both the naming of places, persons or inanimate objects and the assignment of terms to concepts.
		I believe it is important to make a clear distinction between two levels or kinds of onomasiology: one involving the naming of objects, and another the designation of concepts.
		However, a second subfield of onomasiology, involving the designation of concepts, is extremely important for anyone interested in Knowledge Organization and needs to be emphasized by contrast with the coordinate process of naming objects.

	John Benjamins:
		As essentially an analysis of the various types of salience, this essay develops an original notion of structure as constituted by the interplay between the semantic and the pragmatic perspectives.
		The distinction drawn by the author between semasiology and onomasiology clarifies the difference between an analysis of salience conducted on the basis of words and one conducted on the basis of concepts.
		The emphasis placed by Geeraerts on the linkage between the naming function in onomasiology and perception relates to several aspects discussed in the essays by Albertazzi (the perception-based foundational approach to semantics), Croft and Wood, Wildgen (Gestalt aspects in imagery) and Peruzzi.

	Onomasiological and Semasiological Approaches to Term/Concept Relationship: Proposition for Systematic Terminology
		However, some new trends in the theoretical aspect of terminology have allowed for a multidimensional approach to terminological issues.
		In this descriptive study, we are juxtaposing onomasiology and semasiology with the intention of emphasizing their individual characteristics.
		This will result in tracing the point of convergence between them, which in turn, will be the bedrock of proposing a mixed onomasiological and semasiological approach to the relationship between term and concept in systematic terminology.

	Onomasiology and semasiology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In a systematic view, the speaker proceeds onomasiologically, as he starts from a meaning and looks for an appropriate expression; the hearer proceeds semasiologically, as he starts from expressions and looks for their meanings.
		Onomasiology is based on a semantic framework, i.e.
		Just as everyone uses his language both as a speaker and as a hearer, so the two perspectives have to complement each other in linguistic description.

		The innovative nature of the project resides primarily in the fact that it offers a more comprehensive picture of lexical variation than so far available.
		It extrapolates prototype semantics from semasiology to onomasiology, by demonstrating that the semasiological characteristics of lexical categories highlighted by prototype semantics (such as the existence of salience effects) also occur in the onomasiological realm.
		In addition it shows how the semasiological structures of meaning and onomasiological processes of naming both interact with contextual factors of a sociolinguistic and pragmatic nature.

		The semasiology and onomasiology of open source (r0ml redux)
		We use language to identify, among other things, and "open source business" means essentially nothing if it's used to define everything.
		What we need to do, as a complement to semasiology, is engage onomasiology, wherein we start with the meaning of the word or expression and then look for the proper way to name it.

		Linguistics: an interdisciplinary journal of the language sciences: Some aspects of modern diachronic onomasiology *.@ HighBeam Research
		The following contribution calls attention to the fact that cognitive linguistics has already had its effects on historical semasiology, but hardly on historical onomasiology.
		Although certain "modern" linguistic concepts can be detected in the literature of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, it is the merit of cognitive linguistics to put them into a certain systemization.

		When the students were seated, he said, "I would like for you to get your notebooks and prepare to use them as I have asked Dr. Ketcherside to share with us some of his deep insights in the field of onomasiology."
		For just a minute I thought I had suffered a heart attack, and almost did a back-flip off the chair.
		To begin with, it was the first time anyone had ever mistaken me for a doctor in broad daylight, and in the second place, if "onomasiology" had sat up on his hind legs and barked in my face, I wouldn't have known whether to pat him on the head or climb a tree.
