This paper reports on some of the results of the research project "Conceptions of Secondary and Middle School Students in Bogotá about the Lexical Entity Homework," DLE-427-16, which sought to establish and analyze the representations and social values that secondary and middle school students in Bogota have about lexical entity homework. This work was guided by the theoretical and methodological principles of Semantics of Possible Arguments (SPA), mainly on the hypothesis that, in discursive action, and especially in the lexical forms that constitute it, speakers express an axiologization of the world, since these forms have an argumentative potential. In this sense, we were able to reconstruct the core or fundamental elements of the meaning of that lexical entity, as well as the stereotypes based on the definitions written by the informants. We identified and studied the complex social values that the research population activated in their conceptions and definitions. To account for this, first we present the conceptual referents of the SPA; then, the methodological considerations, and, finally, we discuss the data obtained, with regard to the reconstruction of the nucleus and the identification of stereotypes.

Keywords : Lexical meaning; homework; core; stereotypes; social values; linguistic representation.
