Lexicalized metaphors are recognized as metaphorical uses of language, yet their meaning is largely set in a given language.

A lexicographic type is a group of lexemes with a shared property or properties, not necessarily semantic, which are sensitive to the same linguistic rules and which should therefore be uniformly described in the dictionary. I shall exemplify this concept with the classes of factive and putative predicates. Both of them will be narrowed down to the subclasses of verbs denoting mental states (not processes or actions).
