Usual vs Dictionary: Terms Oppositions

The article substantiates the need to introduce oppositions in the terminological designation of linguistic phenomena in linguistics, verified by primary sources (usual phenomena) and secondary sources (dictionary or lexicographic phenomena). To distinguish between the usual and dictionary verification bases of practice, the terms usual / dictionary innovation; reactivation (de-activation); worldview are proposed. Dictionary innovation is a linguistic unit in a new hypostasis as an object of lexicography, presented through the prism of lexicographic modelling. This is an innovation in the dictionary as a secondary source (in the form of a certain model depending on the type of dictionary) – in contrast to innovation in language, in primary sources. Analysis of sources with a distinction between usual and dictionary innovations will contribute to a more ac-curate qualification of the status of new or updated linguistic units as neologisms. It is assumed that such oppositions may continue to arise depending on the subject of scientific study.

Abstract

The article substantiates the need to introduce oppositions in the terminological designation of linguistic phenomena in linguistics, verified by primary sources (usual phenomena) and secondary sources (dictionary or lexicographic phenomena). To distinguish between the usual and dictionary verification bases of practice, the terms usual / dictionary innovation; reactivation (de-activation); worldview are proposed. Dictionary innovation is a linguistic unit in a new hypostasis as an object of lexicography, presented through the prism of lexicographic modelling. This is an innovation in the dictionary as a secondary source (in the form of a certain model depending on the type of dictionary) – in contrast to innovation in language, in primary sources. Analysis of sources with a distinction between usual and dictionary innovations will contribute to a more ac-curate qualification of the status of new or updated linguistic units as neologisms. It is assumed that such oppositions may continue to arise depending on the subject of scientific study.
