Типове значение на думата и лексикографски дефиниции

Abstract

This article is an attempt to distinct different types of words' meanings such as: direct (main, objectual) meaning, terminological meaning, syntactic-dependent meaning, derivative (metaphoric, indirect) meaning, rhetorical (expressive-axiological) and etymological meaning, framed by grammatical meaning and proper name's meaning. The meaning is understanding (in certain degree) of object's essence of the word-sign, that is internal-predicative, attributive interpretation of the word. The word's meaning is explicitly presented in equivalent predicative interpretation in the form of sentence. Different types of words' meanings could have respectively corresponding types of lexicographic explanations such as: periphrastic interpretation for main and derivative types of meanings, paraphrastic definition for terminological type of meaning, and etymological-metaphorical (explanatory) description for rhetorical type of meaning.
