The author says that the nonempty subset \(A\) of the Hausdorff locally convex space \(E\) is semiconic if \(\lambda A\subset A\) for any \(\lambda \geq 1;\) \(A\) is strictly semiconic if \(A\) is semiconic and \(0\notin \overline{\lim \text{co} }A.\) The negative polar of \(A\) is the set \(A^{\#}:=\{x^{*}\in E^{*}\mid \left\langle x,x^{*}\right\rangle \leq -1 \forall x\in A\}.\) The function \( f:E\rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{+}\cup \{\infty \}\) is called (strictly) semihomogeneous if \(\lim \text{epi}f\) is (strictly) semiconic. The aim of the paper is to furnish a detailed study of these notions. Also, the author gives an integral representation of semihomogeneous functions and introduces and studies a dual for functions minorized by strictly semihomogeneous functions. Reviewer's remark: the semiconic sets and the negative polar (in fact \(-A^\#\)) were introduced and studied by several authors; I mention only \textit{M. Atteia}, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Sér. I, Math. 276, 795-798 (1973; Zbl 0257.46014), and \textit{A. Barbara} and \textit{J.-P. Crouzeix}, Z. Oper. Res. 40, No.~1, 43-74 (1994; Zbl 0810.90102).
