This paper adopts the theoretical framework of critical analysis of lexicographical discourse to carry out a diachronic analysis of the lexicographical treatment of selected -zhuyi -主义(-ism) entries in the 1973, 1996, and 2016 editions of the Xiandai hanyu cidian 现代汉语词典. The present research aims to investigate the ways in which a certain meaning is constructed in the definitions as a neutral core meaning of the selected headwords, by also detecting forms of evaluation in the definitions, as well as discussing changes in the successive definitions.

Abstract

This paper adopts the theoretical framework of critical analysis of lexicographical discourse to carry out a diachronic analysis of the lexicographical treatment of selected -zhuyi -主义(-ism) entries in the 1973, 1996, and 2016 editions of the Xiandai hanyu cidian 现代汉语词典. The present research aims to investigate the ways in which a certain meaning is constructed in the definitions as a neutral core meaning of the selected headwords, by also detecting forms of evaluation in the definitions, as well as discussing changes in the successive definitions.
