COLLOQUIAL SPEECH AND ITS REFLECTIONS IN THE DICTIONARIES OF RUSSIAN LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article describes the trend in the development of Russian colloquial speech, reveals narrow and broad approaches to its description, purposefully reflects various concepts of understanding colloquial speech, and reveals the specifics of Russian colloquial speech in the lexicographical aspect with the help of stable units reflected in the explanatory dictionary and dictionaries of colloquial speech. The element of scientific novelty consists in considering the system of stylistic markings based on lexicographic approaches, reflecting the gradation of decline as an important marker of colloquiality – from minimal to extreme, as well as identifying the heterogeneity of colloquial vocabulary, its expressiveness, and diffuseness. The distinctive approach also makes it possible to identify the specifics of the selection of colloquial vocabulary in the explanatory dictionary and dictionaries of Russian colloquial speech. Turning to this dictionary is obviously significant for future work, since it uses recordings of live spoken language as illustrative materials.
