Annotation

Assuming that the argumentative description of articulators belongs to semantics, this paper presents a way to mark the emergence of the topoi used in utterances, proposing a recursive definition of topical fields applied to the description of the lexicon. Finally the consequences of this account are evaluated from a structuralist perspective.
