SEMANTIC FIELD THEORY
-
Leo Weisgerber
The words we use structure our view of the world and of reality. The world view of each linguistic community, he claimed, is fundamentally different from that of all others

Jost Trier
Any point in the history of a language,
its vocabulary is a structured whole made up of subsystems or "word-fi elds"
"Word-fields" = mosaics
Each word-field is a set of linguistic forms, and each linguistic form is a lexical item that fits semantically into the underlying conceptual structure
Eugen Coseriu
The underlying conceptual structure of a language or family of languages varies independently of changes in the meaning of individual words

The lexical
semantic conventions of each language carve up semantic space differently at
different periods in the history of a language and culture
