ON FORMALIZATION OF DICTIONARY DEFINITIONS OF DERIVED WORDS
The article considers an actual problem of the modern lexicography - that of the formalization of definitions of derived words in the derivation-oriented definition dictionaries of the Russian language. The author analyses the definition formulae used in the dictionaries of this type proving that it is most efficient to approach this problem from the point of view of the theory of word-formation categories due to the fact that it is the categorial approach that covers the area of consecutive application of the uniform schemes of interpreting derivatives. The necessity to saturate dictionary articles of formula type with illustrative material is proved. The author expresses the idea of creating a definition-word-formation dictionary on a categorial platform as far as word-formative categorization uniting words with a unique correlation of meaning and form in separate classes, is one of the most productive mechanisms of vocabulary systemic structure.
