• Resumen

  • This paper deals with the problem of connections between the meanings of pairs of lexemes which are syntactically linked, as in the case of a verb and its modifier. Based on some French and Russian data, we provide evidence for the following hypothesis: a modifier of a verb cannot be semantically connected with a component of the presuppositional part of the verb's meaning. This fact proves important for the lexicalization of semantic structures and for writing lexicographic definitions.
