Abstract

In the first part of the paper we discuss differences and similarities in relation to the category of a predicator, bearing in mind the typological hypothesis of languages with a greater number of centripetal predicators and languages with a larger number of centrifugal predicators, i. e. the difference between languages with verbal predicators and languages with verbo-nominal predicators. In the second part we discuss the lexicographic consequences resulting from the found differences and similarities, especially for the organisation of the macro-and micro-structure of the lexicon. It is suggested that the valency lexicon would be a more suitable frame than a common dictionary, and we support an indirect vertical contrastive approach (semantic and syntactic grouping of predicators in groups of synonyms with registers).
