Abstract:

This paper analyzes the complicated, scientific and systematic characteristics of definition evolution for animal nouns in Chinese linguistic dictionaries. We point out that the most typical and concise semantic features of the traditional dictionaries are the same as that of the prototype dictionaries under the guidance of cognitive semantics, and this method can be used to solve the contradiction between complication and simplification of dictionary definition.

Key words: animal nouns, linguistic dictionary, definition
