Dialect researchers' use of the capabilities of structural semantics and the principles of lexicography elevates dialect lexicons(books containing an alphabetical arrangement of the words in a dialect)to the level of lexicography. Showing the capacity of approaches of lexical fields and semantic components in obtaining logical definitions in dialect dictionaries, this study investigated the semantic relations among a set of nouns of capras and sheep in several Persian dialects. These sets themselves contain several other subsets that can be distinguished, classified, and defined based on the semantic components of breed, gender, age, fertility, childbirth, hair color, ear shape, and several other components. Regardless of the complimentary linguistic researches, this field will always have two major defects: one, missing a significant number of nouns for domestic animals(here, capra and sheep)and the other, incomplete, or ambiguous definitions of the listed nouns.My experience in listing the names of capras in the Lâmerdi dialect(a dialect in Fârs)and studying some important and supplementary information from Baxtiyâri dialect and several other dialects, as well as reviewing of dialect lexicons and dialectological data, indicated that dialect researchers should not only use interview-based lexicography.They should elevate their studies to the level of lexicography.At this level, they are required to use the capacity of structural semantics to provide a complete list of the material words of the dialects in order to compile a more complete and accurate list of dialect words to be recorded in macrostructure of dialect dictionary,and in its microstructure they should be able to write logical definitions.
