Semantisation of linguoculturalunitsin the explanatory dictionaries of the Russian language
The article is devoted to the study of the experience of the lexicographic description of linguocultural units on an unusual material - in the explanatory (linguistic) dictionaries of the Russian language. The ways of lexicographic interpretation of the linguistic parameters of the designated units in the following dictionaries are considered: «Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language» by V. I. Dahl, «Explanatory Dictionary» by D. N. Ushakov, «Explanatory dictionary of the Russian language»by S. I. Ozhegova, N. Yu. Shvedova, «New Dictionary of the Russian Language» by T. F. Efremova, «Small Academic Dictionary of the Russian Language»by А. P. Evgenieva. When analyzing the characteristics of the absolute value of words, special attention was paid to examining the explanation of their cultural background (on the example of the words «domovoy» and «kikimora», that is, words possessing a sufficiently high linguistic cultural value). According to the findings, the explanatory dictionaries to a certain extent reflect the culturally significant information contained in the linguistic cultural units, that is, they have a cultural value, this allows us to affirm the necessity and relevance of the study of explanatory dictionaries in the linguistic and cultural aspects.
