LEXICOGRAPHIC FIXATION OF ACTIVE AND PASSIVE VOCABULARY IN THE INTERPRETATIVE DICTIONARY OF AVAR LANGUAGE

Abstract

The vocabulary of active and passive stock is distinguished by the degree of usage. New words are constantly appearing, are first passive and then active vocabulary included in the dictionary of common language. Lexical units, which have a high frequency of use and are used by all members of the language collective, regardless of social status, occupation and education, are units of the active fund. Lexical units, which have a lower frequency of use and are used only by a limited part of the language collective, are called passive fund units. Words of active stock do not have a hint of antiquity or novelty. They are common and characteristic of any style in any communication environment. Passive vocabulary words are rarely used in everyday communication and are not always clear to native speakers. These are words that have either lost their activity (archaisms and historicisms), or words that have appeared recently (neologisms). The vocabulary of the active stock forms interstitial words. The vocabulary of the passive stock is usually associated with book words.
