Abstract

The present study deals with a statistical analysis of the lexico- semantic group of size adjectives (great, big, large, little, small, and the like). The statistical procedures and methods, as well as the mathematical formulae used, reveal the integrative and differential semes, along with the lexico- semantic links found in the microsystem.
