lexical fields = is part- whole relation

economical system of features: that explaines how the members
of the set are related to one another.

Using square brackets= indicate such semantic features

the determination of such features= called componential analysis

a lexeme= within a set or field requires us to note what feature or features distinguish it from the other member of the set or field and what are.

the advantage of the componential analysis it reflects the system
through which the lexemes have their respective sense

disadvantage of componential= unduly concerned with calssification

of the phenomena represented in language, forgetting that our concern

is language itself.
