Linguistic theories of lexical semantics support a Neoclassical Theory of concepts, where entities like CAUSE , STATE , and MANNER serve as necessary conditions for the possession of individual event concepts.

I show how the Neoclassical Theory supplements existing theories of concepts and supports a version of analyticity and conceptual analysis.
