Abstract:
This article focuses on a core linguistic issue that is the verbal polysemy. It offers a practical approach that uses western researches about three verbs: to cut, to play and to begin. The theoretical frame of this study is cognitive sciences and other new related theories: active zones theory, facets theory and computational linguistics. This study tries to approach this phenomenon from the perspective of parts of speech. It tries to draw some conclusions that deepen vision to verbal polysemy from cognitive perspective. It concludes that it would be better to view polysemy in parallel with model and lexical sides together, when studying polysemy phenomenon, in general, and verbal polysemy, in particular.
