Ever since antiquity conceptual hierarchies have been an
indispensable element in western thinking on knowledge structures.
They are also considered to be a central principle in the
organization of lexis. The cognitive salience of the base level
discovered in the last few decades has caused doubts to be raised
about the dominance of logical inclusion relations in everyday
language. With reference to French, Spanish, and lexical data from
other languages, the study demonstrates that there are numerous
linguistic features supporting the view that the structure of
ordinary vocabulary is rooted in the base level rather than in
logical hierarchies.
