Abstract

This article describes the practice of compiling dictionaries of loan words and presents a typology of lexicographic works of that kind: multi-source, bi-source and mono-source dictionaries of loan words. The mono-source Dictionary of Anglicisms of the Russian Language has greater targeting and, thus, a wider coverage of the described vocabulary. This dictionary includes a large number of lexicographic definitions of music, sports, construction, economic, cultural, scientific, technical, military, and other terms. In addition, there are a lot of Anglicisms from various professional, social, age and other groups: borrowings from computer jargon, the slang of motorists, office workers, fishermen, card players, musicians, designers, financiers, young people, etc. It allows us to reflect the dynamic processes of the Anglicisms’ functioning in the speech, includes different spelling variants of the words that have not yet fully assimilated in our language, as well as the labels of “frequent usage” and “rare usage”. The dictionary contains examples of calqued words and phrases, as well as pseudo-Anglicisms. The pragmatic component of the dictionary is presented by the encyclopedic nature of its entries, including contexts and word-formative derivatives, wide coverage of the vocabulary from various social and professional spheres of the Russian-speaking life. This article dwells on some of the macro- and microstructural aspects of the dictionary, analyzes the state of affairs with the lexicographic description of this type of vocabulary in Russian philology. The electronic version of the dictionary contains both obsolete loan words and the latest Anglicisms that gained popularity in 2014 and allows the author to add, correct and update the information in the dictionary entries.
