It seems natural to introduce LF relations along de Saussure's dichotomy of
paradigmatic vs. syntagmatic relations (see also Mel'cuk and Alonso Ramos
& Tutin, this volume). Due to the strong influence of Trier's semantic field
studies, most of the research activities on lexical semantic relations have
a long time been almost exclusively paradigmatic (see Lipka, 1992:160 for
a detailed discussion). In contrast, the research on institutionalized lexical
relations in the broadest sense has been more balanced. Thus, both
syntagmatic and paradigmatic lexical relations received extensive attention
since the sixties in the framework of MTT, especially by Apresjan, l'ču,
and Zolkovskij. Syntagmatic lexical relations have also been a central topic
within the British Contextualism—a linguistic tradition originally put forward
by Firth in the fifties and continued nowadays in the same spirit, for
example, by J. Sinclair and M.A.K. Halliday, to name just its most prominent
representatives. In the seventies, Hausmann brought up the issue of
the representation of syntagmatic lexical relations in practical dictionaries.
This enumeration could be continued up to recent proposals both in
traditional and computational lexicography.
