ABOUT SOME DIFFERENCES IN DICTIONARY ENTRIES OF THE SAME TYPE OF BILINGUAL DICTIONARIES CREATED IN RUSSIA AND CHINA

Abstract

The article reveals a number of differences in the dictionary entries of Russian-Chinese dictionaries, which were created in Russia and China through comparative analysis. They are “Russian-Chinese Dictionary”, containing about 120 thousand lexical units, edited by Z.I. Baranova and A.V. Kotov, published in 2010 by “Zhivoy Yazyk” publishing house, and “Large Russian-Chinese Dictionary”, with a volume of 157 thousand lexical units, reissued in Beijing in 2015 by “Shangwuyinshuguang” publishing house. The specification of the differences in the dictionary entries of Russian-Chinese dictionaries, which were created in Russia and China, is not only theoretical, but also practical. It is shown that these differences are caused, in particular, by different addressing of the dictionary and different metalanguage (description language), which is used by lexicographers in Russia and China.
