2. 5.3 Sub-sense units with near-sense properties Q: What are “micro-senses” and “facets”?

3. 5.3 Sub-sense units with near-sense properties Q: What are “micro-senses” and “facets”? Microsenses: submeanings that have significant autonomy but can be unified in a superordinate category Facets: submeanings that can be unified only in a global Gestalt Note that micro-senses and facets are not antagonistic (as opposed to full-sense units)

4. 5.3.1.1 Introduction to facets Facets are not given separate entries in a dictionary, but are autonomous: book (as a physical object vs. the content of text). Facets are part of the construal process. Facets typically co-occur in use.

5. 5.3.2 Microsenses A word has microsenses if it names both a superordinate category and more specific items in that category, cf. card.

6. 5.4 Autonomy The construal of autonomy among sense units is complex and is not inherent to a lexical item. Autonomy of senses results from conventional, cognitive, and contextual constraints and is itself variable.
