PROBLEMS OF CODIFICATION OF WORDS WITH METAPHORICAL MEANINGS IN DIFFERENT DICTIONARIES

Abstract

Metaphors are important not only in increasing expressiveness of the text in literature, but also very essential in describing different notions in education, medicine, agriculture and many other branches of science. It also helps people to understand some activities and things. The task of transferring such national wealth to future generation is the problem of different dictionaries. Because every dictionary is the fruit of hard work and experience which gained during years. Dictionaries are not only considered national wealth of the nation but also they are a good source for lexicology, grammar, phonetics, stylistics, phraseology, paremiology and the science of translation. When a word is used by the nation constantly it is codified in dictionaries with facts. But not all the words and terms that appeared newly in the language are codified in dictionaries, such words are the source of the dictionary of neological words. So ordering words in dictionaries require great responsibility, because what is codified in the dictionary it has normal function in life. Before codifying a word or a word combination in the dictionary it must be studied in detail because dictionaries let people use the word in daily life. So compiling a dictionary takes a long time.
