Abstract

In systematic polysemy, cognitive explorations are the basis for the existence of various senses for words and therefore it is analyzed through contemporary debates and historical evidences. The categories of body part terms and perception verbs are among the most important word groups related to cognitive semantics in the field of systematic polysemy. In this study, after defining and describing the systematic polysemy in cognitive approach, the related literature will be reviewed. Then, the polysemy of the perception verb (didan) ‘see’ in Persian language will be analyzed based on Antunano and Sweetner‘s model. Moreover, another goal of the present study is to find senses which are not included in the available dictionaries in order to list them as additional meanings to be added in dictionaries in future.
