- Later in the book (p. 157) Smirnickij does admit that “lexico-semantic” variants of a word “find their expression” in differences of syntactic structure and combinability with other words, but he does not draw the apparently obvious conclusion that the correlation of form and meaning obtains at the syntactic as well as at the morphologic level.
- Smirnickij uses spelling forms rather than morphophonemic formulae in all his descriptions.
- It would be interesting to see a semantic classification that did not start with such “themes,” all of which can be lumped together under the general head of “quantifiers” (cf. my notes on this in International Journal of Slavic Linguistics and Poetics I/II [1959], 117f.).
