The structure of lexicographical entries in dictionaries of synonyms

Bernardina Petrović ; Zavod za lingvistička istraživanja HAZU, Zagreb

Abstract

The dictionary of synonyms is a type of explanatory dictionary whose macrostructure can be organized in the alphabetical or semasiological order, while its microstructure consists of pairs and series of synonyms. Alphabetical dictionaries of synonyms can be differential, or cumulative. This standard division should be supplemented by introducing another, transitional type of dictionary of synonyms, in which the differential aspect is reduced to the lowest degree. The article discusses the structure of lexical entry in various types of dictionaries of synonyms and proposes a possible entry structure for Croatian dictionaries of synonyms.

Keywords

lexical entry; dictionary of synonyms; differential dictionary of synonyms; cumulative dictionary of synonyms; transitional type of dictionary of synonyms
