THE "GOD" LEXEME IN THE OLD CHURCH SLAVONIC LANGUAGE DICTIONARIES OF THE 19<sup>TH</sup> AND 21<sup>ST</sup> CENTURIES
The paper examines the definition provided for the “God” ( Bog in Russian) lexeme by “The Dictionary of the Old Church Slavonic Language of Modern Age” (2006) in comparison to “The Complete Dictionary of the Old Church Slavonic Language” by G. Dyachenko (1899) and “The Dictionary of the Old Church Slavonic and Russian Languages” (1847). The authors attempt to explain the differences and similarities in formal and conceptual lexicographical representations of the lexeme by means of specific linguistic examples. In conclusion, the authors reflect on the reasons for the semantic differences revealed in the research.
