| Summary: | This paper presents a proposed compilation of a dictionary of values in the
Serbian language, which is to be based on the existing findings of the
Lublin branch of Polish cognitive ethnolinguistics, of Russian ideography
and conceptology, as well as of Serbian traditional reconstructivist
ethnolinguistics and more recent ethnolinguistics of cognitive orientation.
It contains a critical overview of the aforementioned findings and
indicates the unresolved issues, which in the event of the realization of
the proposed dictionary would be resolved in the course of project proposal
and during all the stages of the preparation and compilation of the
dictionary, ranging from building the corpus, defining the list of entries
- axiological concepts, their typology, their categorization, the list of
entries in the dictionary, their cross-referencing and procedures in their
lexicographic treatment. It is pointed out that the compilation of a Serbian
axiological dictionary would not only fill a void in contemporary Serbian
lexicography, but also make it part and parcel of the current trends in
Slavic conceptology and conceptography. Broader impact of the compilation of
a dictionary of this type could be seen in the area of interdisciplinary and
cognitive treatment and investigations of Serbian linguistic resources,
which, through their written and electronic sources related to all spheres
of human existence, notably in the fields of ethnography, ethnology and
culture, offer invaluable evidence for reconstructing axiological concepts
and uncovering a value system, both universal and nationalspecific, which
distinguishes Serbian language and culture from the other ones. Thus, at the
general linguistic and culturological plane, a dictionary of this type would
enable us to compare the specificities of Serbian values with those
pertaining to other languages and cultures, both at the level of
closely-related Slavic languages and other, non-Slavic ones. |
