Abstract
This study deals with lexical semantics field of hierarchical part-whole relation of root’s plant lexeme, using a corpus linguistic approach to screen the data and statistically find out the frequency of co-occurrence of each root-related lexeme and its collocations. The analysis was carried out by employing Cruse's notion of lexical configuration to build hierarchical levels. Additionally, a concordance analysis was also employed to determine the meronymy among each lexeme that is part of the root. In Wikipedia Corpus, three dominant elements of plant are found, namely root, stem, and leaf. However, for the purpose of conclusiveness, this study only focuses on root, particularly the collocations of each of its parts as seen in Wikipedia Corpus. This study is expected to contribute to references in lexical semantics, especially in determining the paradigmatic relation of hierarchical formation in a concrete and structured manner, by employing corpus linguistics and taking account of scholar descriptions.
