Praseographic peculiarities in spanish dictionaries. The case of Manuel Seco's catalogs

Abstract

There seems to be a consensus that advances in phraseology research are considerable. If before the 1990s there were not many contributions that addressed in depth the nature of syntagmatic combinations with a certain degree of fixation and with greater or lesser idiomaticity, subsequently they have proliferated; and among them some works have been published that have become a clear reference, since they have contributed, in some way, to unraveling the nature of these lexical pieces not only from a conceptual point of view, but also in terms of their lexicographical annotation. . In this sense, throughout history the different repertoires of Spanish have reflected notorious shortcomings that reveal problems ranging from non-systematization in cataloging to the absence of marks. The current lexicographical practice continues to be irregular and ways of proceeding are still observed that are not always successful, although in dictionaries such as those of Manuel Seco solutions are proposed based on already established theoretical considerations, although other courses of action are also taken into account, which may refine in the labeling of lexical sequences of a more questionable nature and that the remarkable lexicographer has the wisdom to execute.
