Lexicography of Shukshin

The article considers the dictionaries (encyclopedic, linguoculturological, linguistic) created on the basis of V.M. Shukshin's works. The author focuses on the analysis of the mac-rostructure and microstructure of one of the first experiments of this lexicographical direction - the Dictionary of Dialect Words in the Works of V.M. Shukshin by I.A. Vorobyova, the preparation of which began while working on the encyclopedic dictionary-reference book V.M. Shukshin. Life and Work. Early death (1996) did not allow I.A. Vorobyova to complete dictionary that mostly preserved in the drafts and materials. In its preparation for the publication the editors (V.A. Chesnokova and L.I. Shelepova) found it necessary to carry out the following work. One of the main difficulties was the lack of the complete works of V.M. Shukshin. I.A. Vorobyova (apparently) was collecting dialectal lexical material, fixing it on cards from different editions of Shukshin's works without documenting them, only noting the titles. When editing the dictionary, a decision was made to rely on the five-volume edition of the literary heritage of the writer of 1986 - 1991 published by Altai Publishing House. The value of this edition is that it is made by the first publications of Shukshin, which gives an idea of the author's text. As a result of the word by word verification of material collected by Vorobyova in the five-volume collected works of Shukshin and in dictionaries (dialectal, modern Russian language) the word list of the dictionary partly changed. It included more than one hundred additional dialect words and expressions. Part of the words, for a reason, was excluded from the word list. For instance, words from the material of Vorobyova that are marked as colloquial or highly colloquial in the modern Russian language dictionaries were not included in the dictionary (when editing it), for they are not dialect words, i.e. they are not locally limited. A comprehensive and thorough account of the context allowed specifying a number of definitions. The final version of the dictionary has approximately 1,000 dialect words of all types found in the works of V.M. Shukshin. But for dialect and colloquial dialect lexical units the dictionary includes several jargon words (mainly from prison slang), a small part of idioms, as well as some Shukshin's neologisms. It is assumed that V.M. Shukshin as a connoisseur of dialects, a man knowing the dialect from within, could create new (derived) words by dialect (and not only dialect) word formation patterns, just like dialect speakers often do in their speech, when creating new words. The presented dictionaries indicate that Shukshin studies in their development have reached a mature stage of the lexicographic description of the writer's work.
