LEXICOGRAPHY
Keywords:
: Failure to identify the base form, failure to identify the etymology of the PU, failure fully or partly to record instantial use.Abstract
Stylistic awareness of the discoursal properties of Pus is also important
in such pragmatic areas as compilation of dictionaries and glossaries, as well as
making notes and comments on literary texts. It is of crucial importance to reassess
this area of applied stylistics in the light of a discourse-based stylistic approach to
language. First I would like to explore a number of challenges in lexicography caused
by instantial use
