Abstract
CASTILLO PERILLA, Myriam; SANTIAGO GALVIS, Álvaro William and RUIZ VEGA, Jaime. The Representation of Lexical Meaning and the Mobilization of Social Values: The Homework. Folios [online]. 2014, n.40, pp.105-124. ISSN 0123-4870.
The paper focuses in the analysis of lexical meaning representations that a sample of teachers from Bogotá has about the lexical entity Homework.To support this analysis the theoretical and methodological approaches of the Semantics of Argumentative Possibilities (SPA) are taken into account. In this regard, the text presents the basic approaches of this model about the study of lexical meaning and its relation with values and social representations that lexical units bear. Thus, it is assumed that through the lexical forms, the speaker, in his lexical performance, conducts a process of discursive axiologisation of the world. Hence, the text first deals with the theoretical approaches of SAP regarding to: Meaning configuration of lexicalmeaning (core, stereotypes, argumentative possibilities) and argumentative displays; the theoretical approaches of SAP regarding the discursive axiologisation, specially the concepts of modalisation, modality and modal value, which leads to establish the semantic modal zones (ontological, truth judgment, axiological and ending values). Then, considerations are presented regarding the methodological approaches of SAP for the reconstruction of lexical meaning from the discursive production of speakers. This implies a work with lexicographical corpus (dictionaries) and with data obtained from speakers (teachers), considerations that had oriented the reconstruction work of representations that teachers have about the lexical entity Homework.
