Aplica？？o da semantica das condi？？es de verdade à reda？？o das defini？？es nos dicionários semasiológicos

a theory of the lexicographic definition should be supported by three parameters: (1) a taxonomy of explanatory paraphrases, (2) a syntactic pattern, and (3) a semantic model. this paper deals with the third parameter. the study aims at analyzing the application of truth-conditional semantics to the writing of lexicographic definitions, in order to: (a) evaluate the contributions of this theoretical model to the elucidation of the meaning of lexical units, and (b) determine its limitations in relation to the writing of explanatory paraphrases.
