Primes

• Figure-Ground
  • Linguistics: Topic-comment and trajector-landmark structure, in which one entity is profiled against a backgrounded reference; in cognitive grammar the relation is treated explicitly as a linguistic analogue of perceptual figure-ground organization.

    This sourceFoundational cognitive-grammar text in which trajector/landmark and profile/base are treated explicitly as the linguistic manifestation of perceptual figure-ground organization, with the profiled (trajector) entity as figure against a backgrounded landmark.

• Polysemy
  • The structural model also embodies the conventional polysemy patterns — regular semantic extensions that recur across languages and lexical fields — and the systematic-vs-irregular polysemy distinction that separates productive, rule-governed sense extensions from idiosyncratic historical residues
