Semantik, Pragmatik und Wörterbuchform in einsprachigen Wörterbüchern

Abstract

Abstract This paper looks at a question that has up to now not yet been put, namely which textual dictionary structure elements with which features, by the use of which the user can find semantic and pragmatic knowledge within an article can systematically be differentiated. In order to do this the following four dictionary structure elements are introduced: items, item texts, functional item additions and item symbols. Then the dictionary structure elements for enabling knowledge regarding meaning are treated by means of examples, e.g. different types of items giving the meaning, different types of items giving semantically related expressions, different types of pragmatically enriched items giving the paraphrase of meaning, etc. Finally, the dictionary structure elements enabling pragmatic knowledge are discussed, e.g. different types of diasystematic labelling items and pragmatic labelling symbols. In conclusion, a brief perspective is given on the relevant approach to meaning.
