Проблеми на лексикографското представяне на частиците с прагматична функция в българския и хърватския език
Issues of the Lexicographic Representation of Pragmatic Particles in the Croatian and Bulgarian Languages

Summary/Abstract: This study deals with some theoretical issues of the lexicographical representation of the pragmatic particles in the Bulgarian and Croatian languages. The analysis focuses on the lexicographic definitions of the particles indeed, actually, simply/наистина, действително, просто/zaista, zbilja, stvarno, jednostavno, excerpted from Veliki rječnik hrvatskog jezika, HJP, Dictionary of the Bulgarian language. Since the lexicographical concept stems from the current linguistic theory, an attempt has been made to systematize the lexicographical approaches in view of their dominant theoretical concepts. Some of the highlights include, e.g., the structural-morphological approach ‒ the grammaticalization processes presented as manifestations of lexical polysemy, homonymy or conversion, as well as the so-called integral model of description of linguistic facts, oriented to information related to the syntagmatic combination of particles in the broadest sense ‒ both at the level of utterance and the level of discourse. The representation of particles in the same dictionary entry with the adverbs has its basis in grammatical polysemy. Conclusions are made regarding the need for the lexicographic definitions to more fully reflect the semantic structure of particles, as this makes it possible to trace their modifying role at the level of discourse and speech acts.
