The Dictionary Treatment of Verbs of Motion and Verbs of Transport
Kroupová, Magdalena ; Čurdová, Veronika
This paper deals with an analysis of dictionary treatment of verbs of motion and verbs of transport in contemporary western Slavic dictionaries and forthcoming Akademický slovník současné češtiny (Academic Dictionary of Contemporary Czech). Lexicographical processing of given verbs raises several issues; the paper focuses on the delimitation and description of semantic features of determinate and indeterminate verbs, and distinctive semantic features of the verbs and their relevance in the lexicographical description of meaning.
The Verbs běžet and běhat (to Run) in the Lexicographical Point of View
Čurdová, Veronika ; Kroupová, Magdalena
The paper deals with the dictionary treatment of two Czech verbs běžet and běhat in the monolingual Academic Dictionary of Contemporary Czech. The paper focuses on the morphological issues and semantic structure of the aforementioned verbs.

Special attention is paid to primary meaning: locomotion of living beings and to metaphorical and metonymic transfer establishing secondary meanings.

Based on the analysis of these sources we determined the systemic connotations and connected semantic profiles. We set down four semantic profiles: 1) appearance of leg / legs; 2) leg /legs as a part of the human body; 3) leg / legs as a means of movement...
