Dialect lexicography of the Russian language at the beginning of the 21st century

Abstract

We analyze the dialect lexicographic situation in Russia at the beginning of the 21st century: dictionaries of different genres are highlighted, publications of specific regions and districts are grouped, – both collective and individual works. In general, a brief systematic review of 87 (very large, large, medium and small) dialect lexicographic works is given. We note that the dialectography of recent decades is represented mainly by traditional differential dictionaries, which differ from the literary standard, and less often by non-differential, full-type dictionaries; it has been supplemented with 9 thematic dictionaries; 5 – idiolect dictionaries; 2 dictionaries of dialect vernacular; motivational dictionary of subdialect; figurative units of dialect; emotional-evaluative vocabulary of dialects; 7 phraseological dictionaries of dialects. Of the 87 dictionaries, 4 are ongoing (unfinished) issues, volumes of works published since the second half of the 20th century; 11 are completed (published) dictionaries, work on which was started in the late 90s of the twentieth century; 65 are published editions from 2001 to 2021 (4 dictionaries of which were published decades after compilation, 2 are additions to previously published works, 10 dictionaries are corrected and supplemented; 7 continue to be published). New lexicographic works almost completely cover the map of Russian dialects.
