Українська філософська лексика в загальномовних перекладних і тлумачних словниках ХХ–ХХІ ст.
Ukrainian philosophical vocabulary in general bilingual and explanatory dictionaries of the 20th–21st centuries

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses Ukrainian philosophical vocabulary in prominent monolingual general explanatory and bilingual lexicographical works of the 20th–21st centuries (Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language (1907– 1909) edited by B. Hrinchenko, Moscow-Ukrainian Dictionary (1918) by V. Dubrovskyi, Russian-Ukrainian Dictionary (1918) by S. Ivanytskyi and F. Shumlianskyi, Russian-Ukrainian Dictionary (1924–1933) edited by A. Krymskyi and S. Yefremov, and the Dictionaries of Ukrainian Language in 11 and 20 vols.). In particular, its development over the course of a century has been traced, comparisons have been made across sources from the same and different time periods, and certain orthographic and word-formation features have been identified, among other aspects. To select the necessary lexemes, innovative tools were used – digital lexicographic systems and the Virtual Lexicographic Laboratory. The conducted study has shown that the first three lexicographic works of the early 20th century primarily include commonly used words that also function as philosophical concepts (eternity, destiny, love, dream, wisdom, hope, etc.). A range of strictly philosophical terms – most of which remain in use today – were later documented in the academic Russian-Ukrainian Dictionary (1924–1933). In explanatory dictionaries of the late 20th–early 21st centuries, there is an increase in marked and unmarked philosophical terminology. The most frequently recorded units in these dictionaries (including the bilingual RUS-24–33) are terms designating philosophical teachings, fields, movements, schools, etc., as well as their adherents, followers, and along with various philosophical categories, concepts, phenomena, etc. The comparative analysis of dictionary entries of the Soviet 11-volume dictionary and the modern 20-volume dictionary demonstrates the transition of lexicographical practice from ideological bias and engagement to objectivity and neutrality in highlighting processes, phenomena, concepts, etc., in Ukrainian and world science, including philosophy.
