Despite a long history of research into phraseology and its practical applications, the representation of multiword expressions (henceforth MWEs) in dictionaries still remains unsettled. The paper singles out and investigates the lexicographic treatment of one thematically related group of MWEs, those that contain nominal forms of body part names. Body part MWEs have been chosen for the present study because they constitute a fairly homogenous group, as many of them are related by means of metonymic motivation, and are therefore expected to be treated in a fairly consistent way. The study examines and evaluates the representation of body part MWE in monolingual English learners’ dictionaries online from the perspective of cognitive linguistics. It focuses primarily on the arrangement of semantically related MWEs in the dictionary microstructure, and attention is also paid to navigation devices used to nest metonymically motivated body part MWEs. The paper proposes solutions that could be adopted in lexicographic practice so that semantic links between related body part MWEs become more apparent in the entry structure.

携手还是分道扬镳：单语英语学习词典中转喻BODY PART多词表达的导航装置和嵌套

尽管对短语学及其实际应用的研究有着悠久的历史，但多词表达（以下简称 MWE）在词典中的表示仍然悬而未决。本文挑选并研究了一组主题相关的 MWE 的词典处理，这些 MWE 包含身体部位名称的名义形式。身体部位 MWE 被选用于本研究，因为它们构成了一个相当同质的群体，其中许多通过转喻动机相关，因此预计将以相当一致的方式进行处理。该研究从认知语言学的角度检验和评估了单语英语学习者在线词典中身体部位MWE的表征。它主要关注字典微观结构中语义相关的 MWE 的排列，并且还关注用于嵌套转喻动机的身体部位 MWE 的导航设备。本文提出了可以在词典编纂实践中采用的解决方案，以便相关身体部分 MWE 之间的语义联系在词条结构中变得更加明显。
