Summary: | This article is a set of proposals for a formal semantic description of nouns of doctrines, theories, movements, religions in -isme and some nouns of attitudes in -isme. The constructed meaning of these nouns consists often in a valorization of their base, for instance ‘valorization of autonomy’ for autonomisme (Roché, 2011). In the first section, I will propose to describe the constructed meaning of those nouns as a set of variables to be instantiated and I show the discrepancies between the constructed meaning and the attested meanings. In the second section, I propose to integrate in that description the fact that the valorizational interpretation is operated in a context of rivalry.
