НЕМЕЦКО-РУССКИЙ СЛОВАРЬ 1834–35 ГГ.: МЕТАЛЕКСИКОГРАФИЧЕСКИЙ АНАЛИЗ
THE GERMAN-RUSSIAN DICTIONARY OF 1834–1835: META-LEXICOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the history of German-Russian lexicography and the methodology of analysis of lexicographic works. For the first time we have studied a “forgotten” lexicographic monument of the 19th-century – the German-Russian dictionary of 1834–1835 of the “Society of Lovers of Both Languages”. The paper is focused on the dictionary’s macro and micro-structural characteristics and features of composition, i.e. the structural parts of the dictionary, the scope and selection of headwords, the principles of arrangement and presentation of language material, the ways of explanation and differentiation of word meanings, the presentation of phonetic and grammatical information, and the nature of illustrative examples. In addition, we describe the situation in German-Russian lexicography in the first half of the 19th century and the public reaction on the dictionary under study, based on the review of the famous Russian literary critic V.G. Belinsky.
