ANALYSIS OF THE STRUCTURE OF LINGUISTIC-CULTURAL DICTIONARIES

Abstract

The article presents a structural analysis of linguistic-cultural dictionaries related to the Russian language by subject or by addressee. The relevance of the analysis is related to the well-proven decisive role of these dictionaries in the process of teaching foreign languages. In addition, due to the special nature and peculiar material of these dictionaries, they are structurally different from the ordinary bilingual and explanatory dictionaries, which are often used in teaching foreign languages. Thus, a structural analysis of the performed work can provide the necessary information for the execution of the relevant work. This research is focused on the consideration of the micro-, media- and macrostructure of linguistic-cultural dictionaries that can be used in teaching Russian as a foreign language. The results of the analysis, defining popular trends in the compilation of linguistic-cultural dictionaries, can be of a reference nature for the compilation of linguistic-cultural dictionaries. The analysis is aimed at considering the general requirements for the compilation of such dictionaries (volume, addressee, etc.), analysis of the structure of dictionary entries (macrostructure of the dictionary), identification of the nature of the definition of paradigmatic and syntagmatic relationships between headwords in dictionaries (media structure of the dictionary), and detection of their general structure (dictionary macrostructure).
