DICTIONARY (MICRO) OF PROPER NAMES - "A CORRIDOR (PASSAGE) OF VOICES"
After the preamble about the social role of the dictionaries and their typology in the article the attention is focused on the regional, microtoponymy one. Based on the microtoponymic dictionary of the Nizhniy Oka-Volga and Sura interfluves, the article deals with the structure of a dictionary entry and its parts, in which the subjects (“voices”) of a number of information clusters are shown: a gatherer, an informant - a rural resident or the informants of different microsystems; their ancestors of different time distance; a compiler of a dictionary, indirectly - the authors of the lexicographic sources which are used to read a particular unit.
