Resumen de Methodological underpinnings for the construction of a functional lexicological model

Ricardo Mairal Usón, Pamela Faber Benítez

• Although recent work in theoretical linguistics has stressed the important role of the lexicon within linguistic theory, its description is still too deeply-seated in theory internal qualifications. Then, it is the aim of this paper to present the theoretical foundations of a Lexicon/Dictionary which can account for speakers' actual lexical knowledge. These theoretical foundations have been gathered under the rubric of Functional Lexicology.
