Syllabus
  • Synchronous Approach - Explanation of categories of lexical semantic description (synonyms, antonyms, polysemy, homonyms, etc.). • Diachronic approach - classification of semantic changes. • Regional, generation, social and stylistic variants. • The practical importance of lexicological research for the quality of lexicography production will be emphasized. • Characteristics of Dutch dictionaries. • Particular attention will be paid to the problem of the word as a unit of description of the language due to its limited phonetic and syntactic autonomy.
