On the problem of lexicographic analysis of dictionaries. Dictionary of education by K. Good
Dictionary criticism is one of the methods of lexicographic research. Criticizing the dictionary the lexicographer analyzes the dictionaries, compares them, registers their benefits and drawbacks, searches for regularities, generalizes and makes advances on how to enhance and perfect the micro-, macro- and megastructure of the dictionary. The paper describes the methodology of dictionary criticism proposed by the Russian lexicographer L. Stupin, and its implementation in the analysis of the first dictionary of education compiled by C. Good. The study also shows that terminology of education hasn’t been harmonized on the national and international levels yet in spite of the integration of educational systems resulting in the number of double degrees, growing level of academic mobility of students, researchers and university staff, participation in numerous exchange and grant programs. The results of investigation will be used while planning and modeling of the English-Russian dictionary of higher education terminology.
