Comment découper le continuum sémantique ou quelques réflexions à propos des lexèmes de perception

In this paper we discuss the notion of a semantic continuum at the boundary between epistemic and perception lexemes. We provide arguments against a unitary conception that is evident behind cer-tain terminological practices using appellations that may mislead because they tend to erase the diffe-rence between perception and cognition in the case of certain uses of the French verbs voir ‘see’ and sentir ‘feel’.
