VERBS OF DRINKING IN ENGLISH AND SERBIAN: A CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS FOR A NEW TYPE OF DICTIONARY
Main Article Content
Abstract
The paper analyses verbs of drinking in English and Serbian using the method of contrastive analysis of the meanings of the verbs in the corpus. The paper provides not only the analysis of the synonymous lexical relations among these verbs and their interrelations, but also the specific elements that each dictionary entry consists of. The analysis is threefold as it contrasts not only English verbs and Serbian verbs of drinking respectively, but also contrasts the verbs between the two languages in order to obtain contextually appropriate translation(s). The results of the analysis in the paper show the similarities and differences between the specific language usage of verbs of drinking in the two languages. They also show that the action of drinking in English and in Serbian is expressed using a range of different verbs that provide a more specific description of the drinking action, but that the conceptualisation of the action of drinking is similar in both languages. The meanings of such specific verbs of drinking have been contrasted and a proposal for one type/model of dictionary that would contrast English and Serbian verbs of drinking has been provided.
