Sažetak
Synonymy, antonymy, polysemy, etc. are the key relationships in the mental lexicon of people. That is the reason why many dictionaries list synonyms, and sometimes also antonyms, of words. The lexicographers are not always in agreement as regards the choice of synonyms for a certain word. The best way to test synonymy is to analyse the degree of concurrence in the connotation of a certain word. Since in technical vocabulary neither synonymy nor near synonymy are desirable attributes, and they should be avoided whenever possible, this analysis will try to show how accurately dictionaries, in the case of this analysis mostly general ones, describe a certain concept by listing possible synonyms and near synonyms of their names, i.e. words that become terms when used in technical vocabulary of a certain scientific discipline or a certain professional domain. To achieve this aim, semantic relationships between seven technical terms in kinesiology in the English language – recreation, fitness, leisure, health, well-being, wellness and sport – will be sought in the sample consisting of twelve – 11 general and one technical – dictionaries of the English language. The investigation will provide an insight into how much attention certain dictionaries pay to listing the synonyms of certain words, how accurate these synonyms and near synonyms are, and finally, how interrelationship between concepts can be identified through the analysis of their names and relations that bind them into semantic networks.
