Polysemous Models of Words and Their Representation in a Dictionary Entry
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
The paper deals with one of the universal models of polysemous adjectives and verbs, namely one - di - mensional model and examines the ways of its r epresentation in a dictionary entry. Polysemy is connected with the human perception and cognition of the world. It is determined by the process of perceiving not only particular objects and phenomena, but also the similarities existing between them or see n as such by members of the given language community. It is also connected with the abi - lity of the language to reflect the new, yet un - cognized objects and phenomena by means of their as - sociations and relations with already known, cognized objects and ph enomena, i.e. to translate diver - sity of the world into linguistic unity. This makes polysemy an extremely interesting linguistic phenomenon but also leads to controversies concerning the interpretation of different issues connec ted with it. The paper tou ches upon some debatable issues connected with polysemy, such as: boundaries between senses, meaning and context, the role of context in the process of realization of meanings of polysemous words, meanings and sub - meanings, sense - numbering in a dictionary entry, etc. The paper also discusses some peculiarities of lexical meanings of adjectives and verbs.
