Genesis of spatial terms
The genesis of basic colors provides hints to better understand the genesis of spatial terms. The two modes of internal lexical formation (by division and by union) inside the language system can be opposed to external lexical formation that attaches words directly to extra-linguistic notions of utm...

Après une discussion du scénario avancé par Levinson et Meira pour la genèse des termes spatiaux, je présente mon propre point de vue sur cette question. Selon cette proposition, la dichotomie entre CONTROL (notion dynamique générale) et LOC (notion topologique générale de localisation) constitue la première étape dans l’émergence des adpositions spatiales. Comme illustré par la préposition œt du vieil anglais, cette partie du système (LOC) évolue essentiellement sous l’effet de la formation lexicale interne par division. Concernant le système spatial dynamique (CONTROL), différents niveaux de spécification peuvent être observés selon les langues et ceci suggère un mécanisme de formation lexicale externe. Trois modes de développement des mots sont mis en évidence dans la section suivante, dont deux —débutant au milieu ou au bas de la hiérarchie des mots ou concepts— relèvent clairement de la formation lexicale externe. Dans la dernière section de l’article, j’envisage comment l’acquisition du langage pourrait fournir des indices sur le développement des termes spatiaux. |

The genesis of basic colors provides hints to better understand the genesis of spatial terms. The two modes of internal lexical formation (by division and by union) inside the language system can be opposed to external lexical formation that attaches words directly to extra-linguistic notions of utmost importance in the linguistic community. After discussing the analysis of Levinson and Meira on genesis of spatial terms, I present my own views on this issue. According to this proposition, the dichotomy between CONTROL (a general dynamic notion) and LOC (a general topological notion of localization) constitutes the first step in the genesis of spatial adpositions. As illustrated by the preposition of Old English œt, this part of the system (LOC) evolves essentially by internal lexical formation by division. As far as the dynamic spatial system is concerned (CONTROL), different levels of specification may be observed in different languages and this suggests a mechanism of external lexical formation. Three modes of development of words are highlighted in the following section, two of which —beginning in the middle or in the bottom level of the hierarchy of words and concepts— are clearly related to external lexical formation. In the last section of the paper, I investigate how the acquisition of language might help to provide clues about the development of spatial terms. |
