thoughts about the future are simply an amalgamation of our experiences from the past. In supporting this hypothesis‚ Schacter‚ et al. go on to claim that semantic memory also‚ however‚ plays a role in the creation of future memories.

The second school‚ that of generative semantics‚ rejected the concept of deep structure and developed rules for generating the sentences of a language directly from their semantic representations. The main representatives of this school are G. Lakoff

The various changes that the English language has undergone in the course of time have led to chance coincidence in form of two or more derivational affixes. As a consequence‚ and this is characteristic of Modern English‚ many homonymic derivational affixes can be found among those forming both different parts of speech and different semantic groupings within the same
