Abstract

This article addresses the position of specialized dictionaries of abbreviations for English. Special attention is given to the macro- and microstructure of English dictionaries of abbreviations, and current available online sources for users are presented. The article compares the micro- and macrostructure of seventeen English dictionaries of abbreviations, including general and language-specific ones, and three online general dictionaries of abbreviations. In the article two contemporary online attempts are also presented; namely, Slovarcek krajsav (Kompara Lukancic 2006) and Slovar krajsav (Kompara Lukancic 2011). The article points out that traditional lexicography, mainly its orientation toward compiling functional and detailed entries, should be joined with modern concepts of lexicography oriented toward an extensive number of entries and constant development and improvement of a dictionary as new abbreviations are gradually added. The combination of traditional and modern concepts can develop resources that users need most — namely, a contemporary dictionary of abbreviations.
英语缩略语词典综述
本文论述了英语缩略语专业词典的地位。特别关注英语缩略语词典的宏观和微观结构,并为用户提供了当前可用的在线资源。本文比较了17本英语通用缩略语词典和3本在线通用缩略语词典的微观结构和宏观结构。文章还介绍了两种当代网络的尝试;即Slovarcek krajsav (Kompara Lukancic 2006)和Slovar krajsav (Kompara Lukancic 2011)。文章指出,传统的词典编纂以编撰功能词和详实词为主要取向,应与现代的词典编纂观念相结合,现代的词典编纂观念以广泛的词条为导向,随着新缩略语的逐渐增加,词典也在不断发展和完善。传统与现代概念的结合可以开发出用户最需要的资源,即当代缩略语词典。
