Title One lexicological theory, two lexicographical models and the pragmatemes
Abstract Generally little attention has been paid to pragmatics in most dictionaries. The present paper focuses on the concept of pragmatemes and their lexicographical treatment within the frame of Explanatory Combinatorial Lexicology. First, necessary preliminary notions closely related with pragmatemes are considered, by briefly reviewing the mel’čukian global model of human linguistic behaviour, linguistic sign and phrasemes typology. Second, the definition of pragmatemes, that is of phrasemes used in given extralinguistic situations, and the central acting part of the conceptual representation of the communicative situation are presented. Following, the structure of Explanatory Combinatorial Dictionary (ECD) and PragμatLex are outlined and an illustration of the Greek pragmatemes Συγχαρητήρια ‘Congratulations’ and Συλλυπητήρια ‘Condolences’ is provided within the simplified versions of ECD - Dictionary of Collocations and Lexique actif du français- and the lexicographical model for pragmatemes PragμatLex. Finally, we conclude our paper with a brief discussion on which lexicographical approach is preferable.
