  SPECIAL STORY
Sememes are the basic semantic structural units of a language which combine to yield morphemes or words.
A sememe can, for example, be distinguished from a phoneme or a gesture which does not communicate a message in a social compact.
Sememes (or, dhatupada') are given a variety of phonemic and morphological forms in the lingua franca to constitute semantic expressions, or the vocabulary of an evolving and growing civilization'.

  Encyclopedia: Lexicon
Lexemes are formed according to morpho-syntactic rules and express sememes.
In linguistics, a morpheme is the smallest language unit that carries a semantic interpretation.
A Sememe is a proposed unit of transmitted or intended meaning; it is atomic or indivisible.

 Lexicon
In Linguistics, a lexicon has a slightly more specialized definition, as it includes the Lexemes used to actualize words.
Lexemes are formed according to morpho-syntactic rules and express sememes[?].
A lexicon may also be the mental vocabulary in a speaker's mind.

"Sememe [sememic(s)] is a term used in SEMANTIC theories to refer to a minimal UNIT of MEANING.
These sememes should be distinguished from dha_tus or verb roots since the radicals span both nouns and verbs and also include attributive thoughts connoted, for example, by adjectives.
Many sememes are from Sanskrit which re-inforced the development of the literary structures of historical periods of all the languages flowing from proto-Indian lingua franca.

interlaced: this is said of lexicalized isotopies whose sememes alternate in sequences or chains that are at a lower level than the dimension of the period.
metaphorical connection: connection between lexicalized sememes: such connection that there is a relation of incompatibility between at least one of their generic features, and a relation of identity between at least one of their specific features.
taxeme: minimal class of sememes in language, within which the semantemes of those sememes are defined as well as their common microgeneric seme.

Cognates do not have to be concordant in phonetic and morphological forms; cognates have to be concordant in phonetic and semantic forms to suggest linguistic affinity among dialects of a language family.
The etymological groups are put together as semantic cognates and it will be left for future research work to determine the nature of the interactions (or what linguists call, using a pecuniary term: 'borrowing') between and among the languages which constituted the proto-Indian linguistic area.
This is due to the author's inability to pin down the ancient 'phonetics' of a sememe or to construct a proto-Indian form.

 Kraith Creator's Manual Vol. 1 Part 2
The /-d-/ followed and modified by the specificity sign denotes reverence for life as the /-d-/ is a modified form of the sememe /-t-/ which is /creation/ and /completion/ as well as several related concepts.
Thus "Voolekan," an extra-canonical collection of sememes is purported to have the meaning: A clearly defined group of people who consent to a custom that promotes a general harmony by blending the ancient and the modern.
Given the component sememes of a word, the human scholar could not hope to derive the concrete meaning, but given the meaning and the components, the human scholar can gain some insight into the workings of the Vulcan mind.

 Manfred Geier- Stanislaw Lem’s Fantastic Ocean: Toward a Semantic Interpretation of Solaris1
Through these recurrent sememes (which cannot be perceived directly on the surface of the text, but are effective as hypothetical constructs in the reading) larger meaning units are produced on the syntactic level.
This equivalence is produced by a bundle of isotopies which repeats and enumerates all the decisive sememes in the defining, expanding syntax (that as a rule is longer than the denomination) (Greimas 63-65).
The sememes capable of dominance are, so to speak, conditions for the possibility of coherent texts, which refer to understandable stories.

 MITECS: Bloomfield, Leonard
Bloomfield did not develop his theory of SEMANTICS to the same extent as he did his theories of PHONOLOGY, morphology, and syntax, contenting himself primarily with naming the semantic contributions of various types of linguistic units.
Bloomfield contended that whereas the phonological properties of morphemes are analyzable into parts (namely phonemes), sememes are unanalyzable: "There is nothing in the structure of morphemes like wolf, fox, and dog to tell us the relation between their meanings; this is a problem for the zoölogist" (1933: 162).
Toward the end of the heyday of American structural linguistics, however, this view was repudiated (Goodenough 1956; Lounsbury 1956), and the claim that there are submorphemic units of meaning was incorporated into early theories of generative grammar (Katz and Fodor 1963).

 Bible Software Review Weblog: New Dictionary Developed with the Help of Bible Software
Also for the first time, the semantic formula of the lexemes is established, which allows us to understand their structure, and the semic development of the elements of the formula is carried out, establishing thereby all their semantic content and distinguishing each lexeme from others of similar meaning.
As for the glosses of the lexemes and sememes, this Dictionary follows the path initiated by Louw-Nida, distinguishing between the definition of a lexeme and its possible translations, but it goes one step further than these authors in that it builds the definition in the preceding semic developments.
Finally, another novely is to be found in the identification of those contextual factors that give rise to the different sememes.

Morphemes are units of linguistic structure, not of linguistic presentation (as a lexeme is), nor of linguistic meaning (as a sememe is).

Claude Lévi-Strauss makes the claim that “myth is language” (811) in the construction of a linguistic approach to the analysis of myth.
In his methodology, Lévi-Strauss breaks myths into what he calls gross constituent units, analogous to the phonemes, morphemes, and sememes used by linguists to describe language.
These gross constituent units possess a higher order of complexity, and are comprised of other units of lesser or no independent meaning apart from the relations they form.

These techniques were largely inspired by linguistic phonemic analysis, and the first key papers of ethnoscience/cognitive anthropology were componential analyses of kin-term domains.
In their 1956 articles published in Language, Ward Goodenough and Floyd Lounsbury each attempted to break the semantic structures of a language into basic units of meaning ("sememes") to parallel formal linguistic analyses based on the smallest meaningful units of sound ("phonemes").
Both were trying to understand what combination of qualities held by individuals defined each kin-term in a language, thus connecting social organization with semantics.

 Proto-Indo-European Syntax: Chapter 1: The Syntactic Framework
In past study, various labels have been given to “units of meaning,” such as sememe, noeme, semon; the units as well as the labels proposed by one linguist often differ from those proposed by another.
A sememe may be expressed by any lexical or syntactic device, although sememes referring to objects are likely to be expressed lexically and sememes referring to relationships between elements are likely to be expressed syntactically.
To illustrate the variety of expression of a sememe, we may recall that the interrogative sememe may be expressed with a lexical element, as in Japanese ka; with an order pattern, as in Did he?; with an intonation pattern, as in He did?; or with a selectional indicator, as in Turkish

Cultural units are further generalized into sememes embedded in a network of positions and oppositions within semantic fields to which sign-vehicles refer.
The full compositional analysis which emerges enables Eco to model both the syntactic markers possessed by a sign-vehicle and to indicate with encyclopedic complexity its sememe's tree-like array of denotative and connotative markers and the contextual and circumstantial selections which instruct any decoder possessing such competence.
Eco's analysis is limited to the "immediate semantic environment" of given sememes, thus making competence more like a dictionary rather than an encyclopedia.

Evidently, the components of concepts are themselves not entirely stable, whether they be called “features”, “markers”, “primitives”, “semes”, “sememes”, or whatever.
Even if we could agree on the units which constitute concepts, we would not have shown that the decomposition of concepts is a routine activity of text processing.
We suspect that the whole undertaking of stipulating the units themselves may be misguided and hopeless; we can at best stipulate unit types, e.g.

 uml creator - Re: Object Role Modelling (ORM) or UML or ?? for designing Schemas
Yet it is equally fruitless to attempt to craft markup devoid of semantics, or which does not reflect some intent of its creator.
Even such mundane matters as the boundaries of markup elements imply a particular articulation of sememes, and both the hierarchical structure and document order of markup impute significant meaning to the relationship of semantic as well as textual components.
There is little point in trying to hide the intent of the markup creator, but that creator should not attempt to impose that intent upon the various users of that markup syntax.

This paper adopts the approach of HowNet that incorporates both types of semantic information when annotating Chinese texts.
In HowNet, meanings are constructed by a close set of primitives or sememes - the basic units of meanings that cannot be decomposed further.
Based on the semantic features revealed by sememes, Message Structures are built, which offers a consistent way of constructing meanings from the levels of words to phrases and sentences for semantic annotation.
