A Semantic Perspective regarding the Phrase Fear of God

Abstract

This article follows the semantic analysis of an expression which can be included in a paradigm from the lexical - semantic field of good. The phrase fear of God is equivalent to the notion of respect in the book of Solomon’s proverbs in the Bible from where the illustrative contexts have been extracted. The lexical co-occurrences for the phrase fear of the Lord do not have semantic consequences but we only notice the frequency and insistence on this attitude, on respect.
