Abstract:

The dictionaries are generally composed of two layers in the form of a integral structure and a particle structure. The integrated structure represents the arrangement of all dictionary units in the dictionary, and the particle structure represents the arrangement of a dictionary unit. One of the types of information in the particle structure is the definition knowledge and constitutes the most subjective part of the dictionary. Therefore, various methods of identification have been determined by dictionaries preparers. One of the methods of defining in single-language general dictionaries is defining through the equivalent word. Parallel meaningful words are preferred because they are short and easy to identify while they are criticized because they hide the meaning differences between the words. Single-language general dictionaries offer users coding and coding functions. But defining with equal words makes it difficult to perform this function and requires the control of the characteristics of equality between the defined and the defining. In this study, the defined "old" and "old" words have been identified with each other, with the aim of determining the characteristics of equivalence in the language level with the methods of meaning unit analysis and meaning field; in the word level with the method of meaning expression, according to the findings obtained, the results of the use of equivalences in single-language general dictionaries have been achieved.
