Abstract

Rolf Hammerl, Jadwiga Sambor (Eds.), Definitionsfolgen und Lexemnetze, Band I. Lüdenscheid: Richter‐Altmann Medienverlag, 1991. ? + 204 pp. Price: 39.90 DM.

This article is a review of the first of a two‐volume edited collection of papers on the subject of definition sequences. A definition sequence is a sequence of lexemes which are related to one another by the hyponym‐hyperonym relation. The overall theme of the book under review is the lexicalised taxonomical structure of the lexicon; in this volume, only definition sequences obtained from dictionaries are considered. The book contains both methodological papers and papers devoted to the lexical structure of particular languages. Both aspects of the approach under review are examined and criticised in detail.
