Słownictwo tematyczne w dwudziestowiecznych opracowaniach leksykograficznych
Topical Vocabulary in 20th Century Lexicographic Analyses

Summary/Abstract: The text is a review of selected lexicographic analyses (both Polish and foreign), in which the distinction criterion is topical areas resulting from the concept of semantic areas. The concept is used to mark the universal as well as to define the unique sets of names, characterizing a given social or regional variation of the language. Division according to topical areas is in works covering all language systems (e.g. literary French), subsystems of regional variations (e.g. some Polish and Slovakian dialects) and certain disciplines (fauna and flora). There are also examples of mathematical set applications in bilingual dictionaries, which have didactic function, making foreign language learning easier. A closer look at semantic areas in analyses of general language, its social variations and dialects proves different ways of world perception by means of language.
