Main Strategies of Enriching the Neologism Dictionaries
Abstract
Lexicography is a field that deals with a wide range of dictionaries based on the history of linguistics, has become a necessity for both linguists and non-linguists and has recently entered a new stage of development. In the article we will analyze the main strategies of recording new words in modern electronic and non-electronic dictionaries. The main characteristic of this stage is the use of information technology and its contribution to computer lexicography. In general, lexicography is a field that requires great patience, hard work and knowledge. This work requires both scientific and technical knowledge and skills. In the past, dictionary units (words and word forms) collected on cards in file cabinets had to be systematized, grouped and arranged alphabetically. This was a difficult task that required a lot of work. Sometimes the technical aspect of the work - alphabetical arrangement - takes more time than compiling the dictionary, the dictionary loses its relevance before it is printed and there is a need for its re-arrangement and updating. In our opinion, further improvement and expansion of such dictionaries is possible in the future. Thus, the issues of displaying the neologisms in such dictionaries, displaying the possibilities of combining words with other words, and establishing constant control over such dictionaries are among the issues that are highlighted in the article.
