Summary/Abstract: The lexical and discursive analysis proposed in this article is intended to show how and in what circumstances a new seme (ecological for our case studies) is being grafted to the virtual-dictionary-meaning of a word-term and what are the consequences. The presented lexical creations decryption and decortication are showing that each lexeme has a lexical-discursive profile that is progressively created, formed and attached to the statement in which it is located. Having noticed that speakers are knowingly pretending or not the opacity of their statements, we will see that the lexical-discursive profile allows a better understanding of lexical creations which abound in the press discourse.
