Överförda betydelser, semantiska utvidgningar och andra oegentligheter : En undersökning av fem definitionsformler för semantisk förändring i SAOB:s definitionstext
(2023) In Nordiska studier i lexikografi p.241-255- Abstract (Swedish)
- In my Ph. D. project, I study semantic change as it is described in the Swedish Acad-emy dictionary (SAOB). The starting point is five semantic labels that are established and highly frequent in the dictionary definitions, namely: bildlig (‘figurative’), oegent-lig (‘un-actual/non-factual’), överförd (‘transferred’), utvidgad (‘extended’) and all-männare användning (‘more general use’). These labels are examined with different methods and from different perspectives. The question posed is how the labels are used in the SAOB, and how systematic and consequent the use is. The aim is to find out what the labels in question mean in practice: What is a figurative use in the dictionary? What is the difference between an extended and a more... (More)

The aim is to find out what the labels in question mean in practice: What is a figurative use in the dictionary? What is the difference between an extended and a more general use, and what, more precisely, does it mean in the dic-tionary that a meaning could be un-actual? The purpose of the survey is to assess how relevant and consistent the analysis and description methods applied in the SAOB are today, from a theoretical perspective. To what extent is the description of the mechanisms behind semantic change compatible with modern semantic theory and in particular the ideals of cognitive semantics? From the opposite perspective, the purpose is to find out what the definitions of SAOB can teach us about semantic change and the meaning-changing mechanisms. In this article, the project is described in more detail, and some preliminary results are presented. (Less)
