Summary: The article deals with some problems of modern explanatory lexicography of the initial components of
compound words performing the attributive function and words that incorporate such components into their structure.
The relevance of this topic is due to the increasing amount of this type of new words in the modern Russian language,
the lack of a unifi ed approach to such words in the theory of word-formation and lexicography, and an attempt to fi nd
criteria for incorporating them into dictionaries. The empirical material for this research was collected in the Integrum
database and extracted from modern explanatory dictionaries. The purpose of the article is to identify problems with
representing this vocabulary in explanatory dictionaries within the framework of the project entitled “Dictionary of the
Russian Language of the XXI Century”. The objectives include the discussion of the following aspects: selection of
words with this structure for explanatory dictionaries; interpretation of the category of complex and compound words
in modern explanatory lexicography and grammar; etymologization of derived (borrowed) compound words; lexicographic
procedures for the compound words with dual spelling (Latin and Cyrillic); diff erent practices of compound
words spelling (concatenated, separated or hyphenated). The research methodology included the methods of analytical review, lexicographic defi nition, and classifi cation. |
