专名的性质和语文词典专名词条收立的问题——从《现代汉语词典》等词典对专名条目的处理谈起

Nature of Proper Names and the Issue of Including Them into Language Dictionaries:On the Treatment of Entries Denoting Proper Names in Modern Chinese Dictionary and Other Dictionaries

专名词条,语文词典编纂时有的收,有的不收,有的多收,有的少收,做法不一。对专名词条弃取态度不同,反映出词典编者对专名性质的认识有殊。“专名”“专有名词”“名词”“术语”之间意义的纠葛需要厘清,因历史时期不同、意识形态和政治制度不同,词典反映出的对专名条目的不同态度,尤其需要认真对待和审慎处理。

Dictionaries vary in their inclusion of proper names as entries.This shows that compilers have different ideas on the nature of proper names.Therefore,effort should be made to clarify what is meant by“proper name”,“noun”,and“term”.Because of different history periods,ideologies,and political systems,dictionaries have different attitudes towards the treatment of proper name entries,which should be dealt with cautiously.
