ON SOME LINGUISTIC FEATURES OF THE LEXICOGRAPHIC DEFINITION

Boris Pritchard ; Pomorski fakultet, Rijeka

Abstract

Initially the term lexicographic definition is studied. The basic issues of the lexicographic definition are discussed with particular reference to the defining vocabulary. Defining vocabulary has been studied on a sample of some thirty lexical entries retrieved from British and American dictionaries and contrasted with the same for their counterparts in the Croatian monolingual dictionaries. On the basis of a computer-compiled corpus of definition texts, frequencies and lexical context have been determined for the most frequent words in the defining vocabulary.
