VISUAL REFLECTION OF DIFFERENTIAL SEMANTIC FEATURESIN TRANSLATION LEXICOGRAPHY

Abstract

Contemporary semantic research focuses on different lexemes meaning, including synonyms meaning. Methodically such works combine hypothetico-deductive method and component analysis that was proposed by O. N. Selivyorstova. The goal of the investigations is to find out differential features and describe them in explanatory dictionaries. Translation dictionaries can benefit from found features as well. Moreover, visual representation of the researched semantic features can be beneficial in translation. An example of this type of entry including schemes, pictures, tables, etc. is shown in the article. A translation experiment was conducted to show the efficiency of the visual representation.
