ABOUT DICTIONARY LABELS IN CHINESE-RUSSIAN DICTIONARIES IN RUSSIA AND CHINA

Abstract

The article identifies features of similarity and difference in the use of dictionary labels in Chinese-Russian dictionaries published in Russia and China. The article analyzes and compares the types, functions, design of grammatical, terminological, stylistic (among them – emotional and expressive), chronological labels used in three pairs of Chinese-Russian dictionaries: “Chinese-Russian Dictionary – Minimum” edited by A.V. Kotov and “汉俄实用词典” (“Chinese-Russian Practical Dictionary”, 1991); “Big Chinese-Russian Dictionary” edited by I.M. Oshanin and “大汉俄词典” (“Big Chinese-Russian Dictionary”, 1992); “Big Chinese-Russian Dictionary” edited by B.G. Mudrova and “汉俄大词典” (“Big Chinese-Russian Dictionary”, 2009). The author concludes that the use of dictionary labels in the studied Russian and Chinese dictionaries, while possessing some similarities, reveals significant differences.
