现代汉语歇后语词典立目问题刍议

Entry Compiling of Dictionaries of Mordern Chinese Allegorical Sayings

目前歇后语词典的立目存在标准不清、体例混乱等问题。我们在对近年来出版的11部歇后语词典考查的基础上,提出歇后语立目应该遵循科学性、规范性和描写性原则,并结合立目实践,对词目的分合问题进行了探讨,对相关联的歇后语形式,从合时主张应该严格区分主条和副条,从分时主张只要结构和语义有较大差异就要单独立目。

This paper is mainly concerned with how to compile entries of dictionaries of mordern Chinese allegorical sayings, which have some problems including unclear standards and chaotic styles. After exploring the 11 recently published dictionaries of mordern Chinese allegorical sayings, the paper argues that entry compiling should obey the scientific, standard and descriptive principles. Based on the practice of entry compiling, the paper discusses problems of amalgamation and demarcation of eintries. The similar forms of allegorical sayings should be distinguished between the main entrie and subentries when amalgamated and should be established as the independent entries only if great difference exists in the structure and meaning when demarcated.
