Abstract
CIRO, Lirian Astrid. THE REPRESENTATION OF SYNONYMY IN THE DICTIONARIES OF COLOMBIAN SPANISH: THE ROLE OF PRAGMATIC MARKINGS. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2020, n.77, pp.54-80. Epub Oct 21, 2021. ISSN 0120-5587. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n77a03.
Abstract: Synonymy abounds in Colombian Spanish. Lexicography offers different possibilities for analyzing this linguistic phenomenon, but this approach has always been a controversial issue. Such controversy justifies the current study, which analyzes synonyms and pragmatic marks in three dictionaries of Colombian Spanish. From the data, the need for a narrower and more systematic strategy for dealing with pragmatic marks of synonyms emerges. The study concludes that pragmatic marking could provide more complete information about the use of each term and a better lexicographical representation of the synonymy in dialect dictionaries.
Keywords : dictionaries of Colombian Spanish; dialect dictionary; lexicography; pragmatic marks; synonymy.
