汉英词典100核心词释义对比研究

An investigation of the distribution of meaning items about the 100 core words in the Chinese and English dictionaries

文章认为判定不同国家的词典是否属于同类词典的标准有三条:词典性质、词典收词、词典释义。根据上述标准,文章认定《现汉》《牛津》《韦氏》等汉英词典都是中型语文性词典,在此基础上,对这些词典中100核心词的义项数目及其分布做了简要对比,认为与《牛津》《韦氏》等英语词典相比,《现汉》等汉语词典在100核心词的义项划分方面比较粗疏。最后,文章从语料库技术、词典的编纂历史以及语言学理论等三方面,分析了中国词典100核心词义项划分粗疏的原因。
