SLCS 31It seems natural to introduce LF relations along de Saussure's dichotomy ofparadigmatic vs. syntagmatic relations (see also Mel'cuk and Alonso Ramos&amp; Tutin, this volume). Due to the strong influence of Trier's semantic fieldstudies, most of the research activities on lexical semantic relations havea long time been almost exclusively paradigmatic (see Lipka, 1992:160 fora detailed discussion). In contrast, the research on institutionalized lexicalrelations in the broadest sense has been more balanced. Thus, bothsyntagmatic and paradigmatic lexical relations received extensive attentionsince the sixties in the framework of MTT, especially by Apresjan, l'ču,and Zolkovskij. Syntagmatic lexical relations have also been a central topicwithin the British Contextualism—a linguistic tradition originally put forwardby Firth in the fifties and continued nowadays in the same spirit, forexample, by J. Sinclair and M.A.K. Halliday, to name just its most prominentrepresentatives. In the seventies, Hausmann brought up the issue ofthe representation of syntagmatic lexical relations in practical dictionaries.This enumeration could be continued up to recent proposals both intraditional and computational lexicography.
