From the experience of work on the dictionary of contemporary church slavonic
Abstract
The paper discusses a number of theoretical and practical issues that arose when preparing the dictionary of the contemporary Church Slavonic language. The work on the dictionary is being carried out at Vinogradov Russian Language Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The dictionary covers the entire vocabulary of the main set of liturgical books, drawing on a broader corpus of Church Slavonic texts used as additional sources. The dictionary is primarily orientated towards liturgical texts. It is fi rstly due to the fact that liturgical texts are used exclusively in the Church Slavonic version and the description of their vocabulary is most demanded. Secondly, the dictionary includes fixed metaphors of Christian texts; these metaphors in their most entire form are contained first and foremost in liturgical tests. The interest in metaphors leads to the inclusion of proper names in the dictionary, which is not common in Russian lexicographic tradition. The dictionary is being compiled on the basis of a digitised corpus. The sources of the dictionary are divided into the main and supplementary corpora. The vocabulary of the main corpus is entirely included in the dictionary, while the data of the supplementary corpus is used in certain entries. Lexical data is extracted by means of special software. The paper considers several technical issues that emerged while working with digitised sources. Besides, the paper examines those problems of lexical, morphological and textological variation which the authors have encountered
