Abstract

Among culture-bound vocabulary items, we typically find names of realia, but also lexemes not immediately identifiable as such, but which are perhaps even more important as indications of culture specificity: words that reflect the ways of thinking and acting deemed appropriate in a given cultural milieu. This paper deals with one such item, which, according to Anna Wierzbicka (2006, 2014), is an essential component of Anglo values: the adjective fair in its moral sense. The analysis is meant to establish how successful dictionaries for learners of English are in rendering its nuances of meaning.
学习者词典与英语文化关键词
在与文化有关的词汇项目中,我们通常会发现现实的名称,但也会发现不能立即识别的词汇,但它们可能更重要的是作为文化特异性的指示:反映在特定文化环境中被认为适当的思维和行为方式的词汇。根据Anna Wierzbicka(2006, 2014)的观点,本文讨论的一个项目是盎格鲁价值观的重要组成部分:道德意义上的形容词公平。这一分析的目的是为了确定字典对英语学习者来说是如何成功地呈现其意义的细微差别的。

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.
