the
modal dimension
(after Greimas [GRE 83]) of the objects of analysis
(including, notably, objects of value). This dimension brings together a subset of
conceptual terms which refer to analytical objects that possess a
specific epistemic
status
(e.g. fictional objects and spaces, imaginary eras, etc.). It also enables us to set
apart a subset of conceptual terms, in the ASW meta-lexicon, which refer to
activities, entities or regions with a
definite moral
(or
ethical
)
status
. Other subsets
of terms which can be identified thanks to this semantic dimension are reserved for
denoting activities or entities which have an
aesthetic
status, a
deontic
status or,
finally, a
phoric
status (affective, emotional).
