Readings in Linguistics II (1966) 209 No fusion in the expression of plerematic units is here involved. 1950S. Potter Our Language 87 Sememes (including pleremes and kenemes). 1957― Mod. Linguistics vii. 143 Operators are sometimes called kenemes by those describing Chinese, as opposed to..pleremes. 1958C. F. Hockett Course in Modern Linguistics lxiv. 575 Here the terms ‘phonological’ and ‘grammatical’ make too direct a reference to human language; it will be better to introduce two new terms for general applicability: cenematic and plerematic. The cenematic structure of language is phonology; the plerematic structure of language is grammar. Phonemes are linguistic cenemes; morphemes are linguistic pleremes. Ibid. 576 Productivity implies that some messages in the system..are plerematically complex: that they consist of an arrangement of two or more pleremes, instead of each consisting of a single indivisible plereme. If one starts with a system with no plerematic complexity, then there is only one variety of analogy by which a new message can be coined: blending. 1959W. A. C. H. Dobson Late Archaic Chinese i. 14 Undistributed, a plerematic word might be said to represent a notion undifferentiated by grammatical quality. 1961F. W.

Wrenn Word & Symbol 4 The names of things, qualities or acts..are the words which linguists of the Danish school used to term pleremes (words of full or complete significance). 1969Word 1967 XXIII. 469 My observations apparently support the structuralist separation of cenetics and plerematics. Ibid. 471 In addition to their two cenetic and two plerematic systems, bilingual children naturally have to master two sets of form-to-meaning relationships. 1978Amer. Speech LIII. 275 A communicative system has duality of patterning..if its meaningful signals (pleremes) are built out of some convenient stock of meaningless but differentiating pieces (cenemes). Ibid. 276 Some special sort of discourse in which there is a planned regularity of recurrence of cenematic features independent of their plerematic role. |
