Abstract

This research paper deals with the semantic field of Kognition from a contrastive point of view. Within this semantic field, we shall analyze six verbal lexemes, three in German and three in Spanish, as there are: lernen, üben, studieren, aprender, practicar, estudiar. A contrastive analysis of these lexemes will be established according to their semantic and syntactic characteristics which have been consulted in monolingual and bilingual dictionaries. Besides, authentic examples of use from COSMAS II in German and CREA in Spanish will complete the study of divergences between normalized language and the real use of these lexemes. The paper aims at showing the similarities and differences in both languages, as to semantic and syntactic functions, as well as the relevance of the lexicographic information for this type of studies.
