Słownik mimiczny dla głuchoniemych i osób z nimi styczność mających — an attempt at an lexicographical analysis

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on the macro- and microstructure of the dictionary entitled Słownik mimiczny dla głuchoniemych i osób z nimi styczność mających edited in 1879 in Warsaw. The analyses include: lemma, grammatical information, different types of qualifiers and definitions. The problems presented reveal ambiguity of lemmatization in the definitions used due to the lexicographical ignorance of the authors of the analyzed dictionary. Different types of the definitions that have been used are typical of the definitions found in bilingual dictionaries. Analyses of macrostructure reveal the authors’ state of consciousness as far as deaf people and their language are concerned and confirm the bilingual character of Słownik mimiczny that is strictly combined with the functions that the authors present in it. One can indicate several functions: educational, religious and normative. The educational and religious ones refer to the authors who were both priests. The normative function is visible in the notes made by the authors, the remarks were included in the last part of the dictionary under the title “List of errors frequently committed by deaf people”.
