Valency Primitives as Dictionary Realisations

The paper addresses the issue of how to identify certain kinds of semantic-expressional primitives in Slovene. These are units of language with which we can explain semantically and expressionally all or most of the vocabulary of the language. The discussion deals with semantemes as semantic primitives or irreducible units and in so doing is restricted to the possibility of expressing or providing a dictionary realisation of valency semantemes using valency primitives.
