SUMMARY:8th session: Vicente\, "Polysemies and the One Representation Hypot
 hesis"
DESCRIPTION:Gus Vicente joins us for the sessionPolysemy has attracted much
  interdisciplinary interest in recent times. Recent discussions in psychol
 inguistics focus on the different processing profiles of polysemous and ho
 monymous words\, and on how to explain such different profiles. Much curre
 nt research assumes that while homonymous meanings are stored in different
  lexical entries in the mental lexicon\, polysemous senses relate to just 
 one lexical representation\, be this a list of senses or a core meaning fo
 rmed by features common to all the different senses. However\, there is gr
 owing skepticism towards such a one-representation hypothesis. After diffe
 rentiating regular and irregular polysemies along several dimensions (not 
 only in terms of sense representation\, but also in terms of sources\, acq
 uisition and word class distribution)\, this paper argues that the variant
 s of the one representation model can meet some of the challenges that hav
 e been raised. However\, there are further challenges that have not yet be
 en considered. On the one hand\, nested polysemies (senses generated on th
 e basis of iterations of metonymies or metaphors) put some pressure on the
  idea that senses of irregular polysemies share some set of features. On t
 he other hand\, sharing some features that could constitute a core meaning
  may not be sufficient for entering in co-activation patterns. In sum\, wh
 ile the paper defends the one-representation hypothesis in the light of re
 cent skepticism\, it also calls for further research and an eventual refor
 mulation of the hypothesis.Agustin Vicente (2024)\, "Polysemies and the On
