Summary: The article examines the “Dictionary of I. A. Efremov’s Language” project. The dictionary’s megastruc- ture is defined as the integration of various dictionary forms: a frequency dictionary, an ideographic dictionary, an on- omasticon, and a list of keywords. Each lexicographic form is approached with a specific method: a statistical method for the frequency dictionary, an ideographic principle for arranging lexical material (headings, spheres, groups) for the ideographic dictionary, a classificatory method for the onomasticon, and a comparative-contrastive method for the list of keywords. The macrostructure of the ideographic dictionary includes the following headings and concepts: Man, Na- ture, and Science. The concept of the “conceptual basis of the dictionary” is formulated through the connection between the writer’s lexical system and his conceptual sphere. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the creation of a system for the lexicographic description of the “space” novels by I. A. Efremov, a scientist and science fiction writer who creates a mental image of the future using the example of the Great Ring civilization. The concept of the “Dictionary of I. A. Efremov’s Language” has been finalized, and the lexicographic project is being actively developed at the moment.
