Vaida Buivydienė, Regina Žukienė. Aiškinamasis svarbiausių literatūros ir kalbotyros terminų žodynėlis

Vaida Buivydienė, Lietuvių kalbos institutas Regina Žukienė. 2008, 128 p. This alphabetical explanatory dictionary of literature and linguistics terms by V. Buivydienė and R. Žukienė is a comprehensive dictionary of literature and linguistics terms. as stated in the preamble, “is appointed by students of the full-time and part-time departments of the Faculty of Education of Vilnius College. students studying various subjects of Lithuanian language and literature. for in-class and independent studies’ (3). The glossary presents the most important and common literary and linguistic terms in alphabetical order, which are “illustrated by various examples of fictional, scientific literature and colloquial usage” (3). The glossary is prepared using various literature sources (19 positions). It is stated that ‘other literature was used for the compilation of the glossary, which is provided in the supplementary reference list attached at the end of the publication’ (3). However, such a reference list is not included in the glossary. Although the glossary contains abbreviations, abbreviations and symbols, it lacks a detailed description of the structure. The criteria for the selection of terms are unclear. The dictionary has not been approved by the State Lithuanian Language Commission. It is questionable that terms from two different fields of science are presented in one publication. The reader may wonder why in one article of terms are presented both linguistic and literary terms without any references, e.g.: anagram — rhetorical figure obtained by changing places of a chosen word or word combination (called program) <...>; anagrams are often called poetic works <...> (9). Archetype (12, 14) is defined only as a literary term, but in linguistics it is used with another meaning: DaTerminologija | 2009 | 16 273 In bartian historical linguistics this term is often referred to as prolyte (KIbZ 1990:24). Prolyté —an ancient form of a word or a part of it, which has not been recorded in living language or written monuments, and which has been reconstructed by linguistic methods (K1bZ. 1990: 162). The title and generic terms in the article of the main term are conjugated, the pronunciation is indicated in brackets, but the spelling error is not avoided, e.g.: descriptive grammar (39), higher degree (59), adjective (=adjective) (20), comparative grammar (39), non-comparative degree (59), verification question (55), rétininkai (95), vandénvardis (118), demonstrative (=demonstrative) (47) and so on. There is a non-circled term moralité, a non-circled causative conjunct of the term. The dictionary contains the etymology of foreign-origin terms. The etymology of a secondary element of a compound term is explained after that element, for example, analytical language (9). However, this is done inconsistently (the etymology of some of them is not indicated), e.g.: aphemia (5), acroteleutas (7), alfabetikas (7), anacreontic lyric (9), dactyl rhyme (22), syncope (99), skaldas (101), etc. It is not clear what the etymology of the term "adressant" is. Address (= addressee) (5). Almost all heading terms are correct, but one other term should be corrected, e.g. :allophrasis (8), definition (—definition) (12), Aesop's language (= Aesop's language) (33) (LLE 2001: 136), incunabula (-incunabulae) (44), ways of creating images (—art) (117). Although most of the terms used in the articles themselves are also correct, there are also unpresentable and correctable terms, e.g. the role (ntk.= rooli (TT 1992:91)) term replica in the article (92). The corrective term hyphen is the term found in article (20): <...> to distinguish the direct language from the author's (= author's) language. The question arises why the heading term archetype, which is presented twice (in one case not in alphabetical order), is defined in two ways, for example: archetype — the transmission from generation to generation of the image of collective pasgmonés, which has a universal meaning (12) and archetype — a poetic sign. An image of mythology, folklore, rituals or customs in poetry or prose is called an archetype (14). Synonyms are presented in the glossary in parentheses, they are connected by a conjunction or are usually left out of the heading terms. However, this order of presentation is not always consistently followed, e.g. : Calais —<...>. See also The Game of Words (p. The play of words (or calamity) <...> (50, 126). 274 Diana Šilobritaitė | Unjoined or synonyms rhetorical reference and apostrophe (93), and synonyms memories, memories (15) separated by comma. It should be noted that in Lithuanian terminology it is customary to separate synonyms of terms with a comma — this method of presenting synonyms is also specified in the General Requirements for the Preparation of Term Dictionary (TZRBR 2007) approved by the State Lithuanian Language Commission (VLKK). There is a case where only one synonym is given in parentheses, and two in the definition, e.g. : Alphabet (or alphabet) —all the letters of the script arranged in a certain order, alphabet, alphabet (5). The chorus is presented as a synonym of the accompaniment (86), but the latter is not mentioned in the separately presented chorus (92). The terms amphibolia (8) and ambiguity (277) are distinguished and not presented as synonyms, but they are considered synonyms in the Vocabulary Dictionary. On the other hand, the opposite is noticeable — the doubtful synonymity of terms (in the Lithuanian Literature Encyclopedia they are not considered synonyms), e.g., idyll (or pastoral, bucolic) (43). In addition, the terms pastoral (79) and bucolic (20) are also highlighted in the glossary, but there is no reference to the term idyll. Regarding the synonyms provided in the glossary, it should also be noted that there is often a lack of systematism, e.g.: allophrase (or variant of phraseology) (8), allograph (or variant of a grapheme) (8), allomorph (variant of a morpheme) (8), but it is not indicated that the term allophone (8) has a synonym —phoneme variant. It's unclear. which terms are provided with the reference also known as and their relationship to synonyms, e.g. : Philosophical poetry — a type of poetry based on worldview problems and so-called "eternal" problems. It is also called by other terms: lyric of ideas, reflective lyric, intellectual lyric, thought lyric, metaphysical lyric (34). Heraldic poem — <...> (also called a poem to the coat of arms, about the coat of arms) (40). The TSRBR states that each term value is numbered and defined as an independent unit (it is not recommended to provide needs values separated by semicolon or otherwise- ). However, in the reviewed glossary in some cases the meanings are given both after the semicolon, and after the comma, and after the period, e.g.: archive —institution, collecting. preserving, managing and researching old documents and manuscripts; its premises; the accumulation of those documents (14); anagram — rhetorical figure obtained by changing places of a selected word or combination of words (called a program) <...>; anagrams are often referred to as lines D ~J U1 Terminology | 2009 | 16 works <...> (9): allusion — hint to a known thing, stylistic means — phrase reminiscent of some known fact <...> (8); archetype — a poetic sign. Mythology, folklore. the image of rituals or customs in poetry or prose is called archetype (12) and others. Insufficient and unclear definitions of some terms, e.g. : Apogee—the greatest achievement, prosperity (13). Interpretation—interpretation of meaning: performing a work of art in its own way (45). Historical novel — a specific type of novel, formed in the Romantic era (46). Colour — colourfulness, distinctiveness (30). Culture is everything. what is created by the physical and mental work of society; education, knowledge (58). Situation—situation, circumstance, totality of circumstances (100). Picture—a picture of life that is drawn, described, or played (117). There are many proofreading errors in the dictionary. Some pages do not list terms in alphabetical order (12, 92). Although each dictionaries is an important step in a certain field of science, it is unlikely that this educational glossary of literary and linguistic terms will enrich Lithuanian terminology. It was noted that almost all terms and their definitions were taken from the Kalbotyros terminų žodynas and the Lithuanian Literature Encyclopedia. New original terms and definitions are not provided, so the things to be corrected and various flaws mentioned in this review should not be in the teaching methodical publication.
