    This paper aims at defending the presence of a conceptual semantics content in roots. Harley (2014) presents two arguments against the individualization of roots by their semantics in List 1: (i) the fact that it is difficult to find a common shared meaning in some hebrew words formed by the same root and (ii) the existence of roots like - ceive (as in deceive and receive) and gred- (in regredir and progredir), which are formally identifiable but apparently meaningless out of a morphosyntactic context. We argue that Harley's conclusions are based on wrong assumptions, since: (i) not all hebrew words are root derived: there are words derived from words in which the identification of a root from the tri-consonantal system is impossible and, (ii) in relation to bound roots, the formal identity does not guarantee that the forms share the same root, since the reanalysis option is not attempted and, besides of that, it is possible to identify a common meaning for some subparadigms. From this perspective, Harleys' examples are not arguments against the presence of semantic content in the roots of List 1.
