Dictionary as a reflection of contemporary attitudes toward the linguistic norm

Barbara Kryżan-Stanojević ; Filozofski fakultet, Odsjek za slavenske jezike i književnosti, Zagreb

Abstract

A dictionary is a testimony of its time. Except in the lexical fund, authors' relation to the language is also manifested in their choice of labels. This choice reveals authors' attitude to the linguistic and lexical norm. The author concludes that historically there are cyclic alternations between the domination of a restrictive and a liberal trend in language, which influences the lexicographic and linguistic production.
