1929Year's Wk. Eng. Stud. 1927 47 Funke..classifies the units of speech under two heads, termed Autosemantic and Synsemantic, the former constituting the semasiological units of speech, i.e. those which give complete expression of psychic phenomena which are communicable in themselves... Autosemantics correspond to the three basic types of sentence and are not necessarily themselves single words. 1931G. Stern Meaning & Change of Meaning iv. 86 We have to distinguish not only between autosemantic and synsemantic expressions, but also between autosemantic and synsemantic meanings. 1931W. Worster tr. Jørgensen's Treat. Formal Logic III. xiii. 239 The word ‘and’ is syncategorematic or synsemantic. It may however, also occur as categorematic or autosemantic, as..in the assertion: ‘‘And’ is a conjunction.’ 1962S. Ullmann Semantics ii. 44 Full words are ‘autosemantic’, meaningful in themselves, whereas articles, prepositions,..and the like are ‘synsemantic’, meaningful only when they occur in the company of other words. |
