Abstract

Two theoretical constructs (the bilingual mental lexicon and the depth of processing framework) and the Whorfian hypothesis of linguistic determinism plus related concepts (differentiation, codability, and Zift’s law) are incorporated into a framework in this paper to account for the representation of (cross-)cultural information in bilingual lexicography. After briefly introducing the theoretical framework, the paper goes on to discuss the representation of literal, conceptual, and cross-cultural aspects in the Chinese–English Dictionary (Unabridged) (henceforth the CEDU) in three sections: making explicit the implicit literal or etymological information to account for senses in use; acculturating expressions, definitions, and illustrative examples; and cultural immersion in exemplification appealing to both refined and popular tastes. Each section encompasses multilevel factors in the treatment of bilingual entries with a focus on (cross-) cultural representations.
从文化到(非)共享概念
本文将两种理论建构(双语心理词典和加工深度框架)、沃尔夫语言决定论假说以及相关概念(差异、可编码性和Zift定律)整合到一个框架中,以解释双语词典编纂中(跨)文化信息的表征。在简要介绍了理论框架之后,本文分三个部分讨论了《汉英词典(未删节版)》(以下简称《汉英词典》)中文字、概念和跨文化方面的表现:明确隐含的文字或词源信息,以解释使用中的意义;适应表达、定义和说明性例子;文化沉浸在典范中,既能吸引高雅的品味,也能吸引大众的品味。每个部分都包含处理双语条目的多层次因素,重点是(跨)文化表征。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Lexicography was launched in 1988. Interdisciplinary as well as international, it is concerned with all aspects of lexicography, including issues of design, compilation and use, and with dictionaries of all languages, though the chief focus is on dictionaries of the major European languages - monolingual and bilingual, synchronic and diachronic, pedagogical and encyclopedic. The Journal recognizes the vital role of lexicographical theory and research, and of developments in related fields such as computational linguistics, and welcomes contributions in these areas.
