Lexicographical and discursive-textual definition of mobile phone from a blog

Abstract

The research deals with the analysis of the definitions of the mobile phone lexical item provided by students from a blog. The data obtained are extracted from samples taken from a practice done in class during a period of time of one month. The study is carried out in an inductive way: 1st) we start from the contextual information offered by the blog sample, 2nd) we analyze the lexicographic information presented by the definitions of the said lexical item in the consulted sources, both school dictionaries, which are mainly handled at these levels, such as general dictionaries with which it is contrasted and 3rd) it ends with the definitions provided by the students, with a breakdown of the semes they contain. Once all the information on the semes has been analyzed, it is concluded that, in terms of lexicographic information, hyperonymy and metonymy are the prevalent semantic mechanisms in the two types of dictionaries, which are, on the other hand, those also used by informants in their own definitions, which from a discursive-textual point of view are favored by a large number of inferences, presuppositions, and understandings. The data of illustrative graphics referring to the textual information, the lexicographic information, and the semes of the studied lexical item are attached.
