Klassifikationen in Der Linguistik Und in Der Lexikographie: Wortarten Und Wortverbindungen

Henning Bergenholtz¹

Abstract: Linguistics and lexicography are two different disciplines. One discipline can use terms from another discipline, but quite often it has to make its own terms or give certain terms a certain meaning in the discipline. Of historical reasons lexicography is often seen as a subdiscipline of linguistics, metalexicographers therefore quite often use linguistic terms exactly in the same way as in linguistics. This is not appropriate for a lot of reasons. The most important one is that normally -also within one and t… Show more

These scholars also defend the interdisciplinary vocation of lexicography and, therefore, the necessity of (re-)evaluating taken-for-granted theories, concepts and methods with the aim of deciding which, if any, can be used without any adaptation or which must be adapted to agree with the true nature of lexicography, which is the compilation and description of information tools that are constructed in order to meet user's needs in specifi c users' situations by offering them quick and easy-to-use data that users can convert into information (Tarp, 2008).…”

This paper advocates a lexicographical approach to the treatment of collocations in dictionaries. A collocation is presented as an umbrella term for referring to word combinations that are typical for the kind of language in question, and which can be useful for re-use in text production or for assisting in text translation. They are composed of two or more orthographic words, do not constitute a full sentence, but offer potential users the possibility of obtaining relevant information. The way they are dealt with is exemplifi ed in the Accounting Dictionaries, a set of online specialized dictionaries that represent a complex system of specifi c lexicographical and technological options for creating interaction between database and dictionary. By February, the accounting database will allow potential users to retrieve data from twenty-three different accounting dictionaries, each focused on a specifi c function and use situation. For some of these dictionaries, typically translation and production dictionaries, the inclusion of collocations is a must, as this paper aims to show by defending the view that the linguistic concept of collocation is not adequate for lexicography, that the inclusion of collocations is only necessary in some dictionaries, and that their lexicographical consideration must agree with the true nature of lexicography; for instance, with the principle of relevance applied to specialized lexicography, where we mean the condition of being directly connected with the subject fi eld, the dictionary function(s), the use situation in which the dictionaries are intended to be used, their access route(s), and the levels of competence of the intended users.

“…These differences may become so signifi cant that the linguistic and lexicographic uses may eventually represent two different polysemous senses of the same term, cf. BERGENHOLTZ (2009). In this paper the focus is on aspects of the lexicographic selection and presentation of synonyms but also on how items giving synonyms can be used in the access process of electronic dictionaries.…”

“…For instance, Bergenholtz (2009b) shows that the linguistic concepts of collocation and part of speech are inadequate when designing high-quality dictionaries. Tarp (2009b) discusses why learner's lexicography cannot simply take over the concepts of beginners, and intermediate and advanced learners used within linguistics and language didactics.…”

Reflections on the Academic Status of Lexicography

Abstract:Two main camps have been formed with regard to the philosophical and academic status of lexicography: one considering lexicography an independent scientific discipline, and the other opposing such a scientific status. This article discusses some of the arguments from the second camp and argues that lexicography should be considered an independent scientific discipline.The argumentation is based on the fact that the subject field of lexicography is different from the subject fields of any other discipline, including linguistics. In this sense, the concept of a lexicographical work is broader than the more reduced concept of a dictionary. Lexicographical works, including dictionaries, are considered cultural artefacts and utility tools produced in order to meet punctual information needs detected in society. In this way, they have during the millenniums covered almost all spheres of human activity and knowledge. The theory and science of lexicography should not focus on the differences regarding the specific content of all these works, but on aspects that unite them and are common to all of them. In this regard, some of the core characteristics of lexicography as an independent discipline are discussed together with its complex relation to other disciplines. Lexicographical theory is understood as a systematic set of statements about its subject field. Finally, the article argues that the fact that this theory may seem too abstract and difficult to some working lexicographers does not in itself invalidate its independent scientific status, although a close relation between theory and practice is recommended. Keywords: LEXICOGRAPHY, LEXICOGRAPHICAL THEORY, FUNCTION THEORY, ACADEMIC STATUS OF LEXICOGRAPHY, INDEPENDENT STATUS OF LEXICOGRAPHY, INTERDISCIPLINARY VOCATION OF LEXICOGRAPHY, DICTIONARIES, LEXICOGRAPHI-CAL WORKS, UTILITY TOOLSOpsomming: Gedagtes oor die akademiese status van die leksikografie.Twee hoofkampe het ontwikkel met betrekking tot die filosofiese en akademiese status van die leksikografie: een wat die leksikografie beskou as 'n onafhanklike wetenskaplike dissipline, en die ander wat so 'n wetenskaplike status teenstaan. Hierdie artikel bespreek sommige van die argumente van die tweede kamp en redeneer dat die leksikografie as 'n onafhanklike wetenskaplike dissipline beskou behoort te word. Die redenasie is gebaseer op die feit dat die onderwerpsveld van die leksikografie verskillend is van onderwerpsvelde van enige ander dissipline, insluitende die linguistiek. Hiervolgens is die konsep van 'n leksikografiese werk breër as die meer beperkte konsep van 'n woordeboek. Leksikografiese werke, insluitende woordeboeke, word beskou as kulturele artefakte en nutsgereedskap geskep om aan die onmiddellike inligtingsbehoeftes te voldoen wat in die gemeenskap vasgestel is. Op hierdie manier het hulle gedurende die millenniums byna alle sfere van menslike bedrywigheid en kennis gedek. Die teorie en wetenskap van die leksi-
