| Abstract: |
The paper discusses the validity of using an onomasiological approach to a general dictionary description to a larger extent than has been standard in lexicographic work. This approach allows for the description to focus more clearly on the entire vocabulary and the internal relations between the lexical units than has been possible through a traditional semasiological description with its emphasis on an independent description of individual words (single-word lemmas). Simultaneously, different types of phrases can be treated more actively and as independent units. Icelandic wordnet is a dictionary description of this kind, where a comprehensive and wide-ranging description of Icelandic phrases, which has been published in three phraseological dictionaries, forms the basis and provides material for the description. On the one hand, the phrases appear as multi-word lemmas, and on the other they reveal the syntactic and semantic relations within the vocabulary. |
