KOMPONENCIJALNA ANALIZA GRUPE SINONIMA GLAGOLA SVAĐATI SE I NjIHOVI PREVODNI ENGLESKI EKVIVALENTI

Abstract

In this paper, the english and Serbian groups of synonyms of the verb свађати се (english to argue) have been examined in order to establish whether the proposed equivalents in dictionaries were precise enough. Firstly, the paper elaborates on different types of meaning which can influence the formation of semantic featuress of the given lexemes. Afterwards, by means of componential analysis and consulting dictionaries and the gathered corpora, the authors have underscored the semantic features which bring out the subtle differences within the groups of synonyms in both Serbian and english. By consulting existing bilingual dictionaries, the authors of this paper wanted to re-evaluate the given suggestions of equivalents. The analysis gave way to the following conclusion: bilingual dictionaries in many cases provide suitable suggestions. However, in several cases, where it was obvious one could use other verbs, there was a repetitive usage of the same equivalent.
