Componential analysis
-Louis Hjelmslev (the Copenhagen School of Linguistics), Ward Goodenough Componential Analysis and the Study of Meaning (1956), Floyd Lounsbury A Semantic Analysis of Pawnee Kinship Usage Language (1956), Yuriy Apresian, Yuriy Karaulov (Moscow School of Linguistics)
-description of the meaning of lexemes as well as the inner structure of the lexicon through (structured) set of semantic features;
Immediate constituents analysis
-originally, a model of sentence analysis first explicitly introduced by Leonard Bloomfield (American Structuralism) in his book Language (1933); the most basic syntactic organisational principle of transformational grammar;
-the goal and consequence of IC analysis is to analyse a linguistic expression into a hierarchically defined series of constituents;
Sample analysis
1) un + gentlemanly - IC
2) un + {gentleman + ly} - IC
3) un + { [gentle + man] + ly} - IC
Transformational analysis
