PHRASAL VERBS IN ENGLISH DICTIONARIES: THE NEW MODEL OF ORGANIZATION AND PRESENTATION FROM THE PERSPECTIVES OF COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS AND THE PROTOTYPE THEORY
Main Article Content
Abstract
The paper deals with the analysis of the models of lexicographic treatment of the English phrasal verb put up. The general aim of the analysis is to describe the actual models of such treatment in all types of dictionaries: general-purpose, learners’ and specialized phrasal verbs dictionaries. Furthermore, more specific aims deal with the effectiveness of such models for the purpose of making interpretation and acquisition of these structures easier for dictionary users. The overview of the advantages and disadvantages of such models creates a starting point for the presentation of a new model, potentially efficient in regarded terms, which starts from the particle and its influence on the semantics of phrasal verbs. The theoretical framework used in the paper is the Cognitive Linguistic approach to phrasal verb semantics and the Prototype theory which provide the complete insight into the complex semantic structure of phrasal verbs, accentuating derivational paths and the position of peripheral meanings in relation to the prototype in the centre of the radial network. The organization of phrasal verbs in such way contributes to the overall representation of the complex semantic structure of phrasal verbs, easier interpretation and memorization by dictionary users, especially, the English language learners.
