Tratamiento de las locuciones nominales de España y de Hispanoamérica en los diccionarios académicos

Abstract

Managing and using different dictionaries confirm that, automatically, many of them contain phraseological units in their entries and/or sub-entries. However, in some cases, phraseological units are understood in a lax way, as it can be seen in the preface of some dictionaries; as a result, they (dis)appear inside a lexicographical work in disparate ways. For this reason, the present paper aims at analysing the lexicographical treatment of nominal idioms in two dictionaries published by the Spanish Royal Academy (RAE) and the Association of Academies of the Spanish Language (ASALE): Diccionario de Americanismos (DA, 2010) and Diccionario de la Lengua Española (DLE, 2014). In order to achieve this purpose, this study focuses on a corpus of nominal phraseological units and compares the categorical, diatopic and semantic data concerning these units in the two dictionaries considered.
