CONCEPTS

     An alphabetical english list of the TLS concepts (previously listed under FORMULA), followed by a brief definition and a sometimes extensive list of related terms (listed under "ALTERNATIVE LABELS".
 Although expressed in English, the concept should be considered in the generality that the expression "semantic field" conveys, or the German Wortfeld, lexikalisches Feld, Bedeutungsfeld, Begriffsfeld, Sinnbezirk, und semantisches Feld. It thus plays a role in the TLS somewhat analogous to the synset of the Princeton Wordnet.

   <!-- targetted search not yet implemented as such- currently have to search in "fields" or "entire TLS" and look for hits located in "Concepts." 

 	    A special searchbox can be used to search the concepts for any specific word that the user might wish to attempt to categorize according to these existing concepts. The search is performed on the word's literal string of characters, not its meaning, so, for example

                           search   shellac           2   (concepts in which it occurs)

     CONQUER 	SUCCESSFULLY ATTACK AND ENDURINGLY POSSESS a PLACE.     DEFEAT, BEAT, VANQUISH, TROUNCE, TRIUMPH OVER, BE VICTORIOUS OVER, GET THE BETTER OF, WORST, OVERCOME, OVERWHELM, OVERPOWER, OVERTHROW, SUBDUE, SUBJUGATE, QUELL, QUASH, CRUSH, ROUT, LICK, BEST, HAMMER, CLOBBER, THRASH, PASTE, DEMOLISH, ANNIHILATE, WIPE THE FLOOR WITH, WALK ALL OVER, MAKE MINCEMEAT OF, MASSACRE, SLAUGHTER, CREAM, SHELLAC, SKUNK

     POLISH    RUB AND SMEAR USING LIQUID so as to CAUSE TO BECOME SMOOTH AND SHINING.    SHINE, WAX, BUFF, RUB UP/DOWN, GLOSS, BURNISH, VARNISH, OIL, GLAZE, LACQUER, JAPAN, SHELLAC

     This search could be useful to determine whether a word that the user wished to annotate was already assigned to one or more concepts. A new concept should probably not be created until the word to be annotated has been searched here.

     The name of the concept in the first column (previously listed under FORMULA) is a link to a page where all the information relating to that concept is accumulated: ie

        Alternative Labels (synonyms and related terms)
        Ontology (eg hypernyms, hyponyms, Antonyms, See Also etc)
        Usage Criteria and General Notes
        Source References (and their number)
        Attributions (Citations) Overview (print only)
            by text
            by syntactic function     

        But the bulk of the concept entry is generally taken up by the list of words that can evoke that concept, their attested syntactic roles and the attributions that exemplify those roles.
