Reflections on linguoculturological dictionary marks

In the article, the author reflects on the importance of word marks which are traditionally used only in an abbreviated form and occupy a modest place in the structure of the dictionary entry: in the headword zone - before or after the word meaning interpretation, in the illustration zone - at the end of the entry. Meanwhile marks play an important role in characterizing the word and its function in the text: they indicate its grammatical properties - gender (m., f., n.), number (s. or pl.), case (N., G., D., etc.), style (coll., elev., lit.), expressiveness (expr., emot., rude), geography (Msc. (Moscow), Sib. (Siberia), Tom. (Tomsk), etc.). The author expresses the idea of linguoculturological marks, their meanings and types. The following marks are characterized: personification (Russian: olits) representing a thing as if it were human, zoomorphism (zoom.) - as if it were an animal, phytomorphism (fitom.) -a plant, artefact-morphism (artef.) - a product of human activity, myth-morphism (mi-fom.) - a mythical creature, nature-morphism (natur.) - a property of a natural object, lo-cus-morphism (lokom.) - a spatial parameter, phonomorphism fonom.) - a sound made by people, animals, objects, elements, anthropomorphism (antrop.) - an anthropomorphic image expressed by metaphorical transfers within the semantic sphere "person". The article provides illustrations of all the aforementioned types of marks. Here are some of them: personification. Glazok ('eye, eyespot, speculum'). Olits. 'round spot, sometimes rimmed, in the figure, pattern, color, animals, etc.' - Each butterfly wing had a big eye-shaped spot of bluish purple. Aksakov. Collecting Butterflies. Anthropomorphism. Metit' ('to aim'). Antrop. 'try to take any post, position, etc., as if intending to hit the target'. - At first, everyone thought him [Menshikov] to be the king's jester, but he aimed higher. A. Tolstoy. Peter the First. Myth-morphism. Besnovat'sya ('to rage'). Mifom. 'fall into extreme excitement, to behave as if possessed by a demon'. - Marya Alekseyevna had long been raging... finally she got tired of shouting. Chernyshevsky. What Is to Be Done? Arte-fact-morphism. Seryozhki ('aiglets'). Artef. 'blossom clusters of small flowers in woody plants that fall off completely after blooming'. - Aspens have dropped furry aiglets that looked like shaggy caterpillars on the forest paths. Liverovskiy. In a Green Dress. Nature-morphism. Tumanit'sya ('to dim'). Natur. 'veil, cloud, losing the ability to see clearly (about eyes, look'). - Kak chasto, grustnymi mechtami / Tomimyy, na tebya glyazhu, / I vzor tumanitsya slezami ('How often by sad dreams / Tormented, I look at you, / And my look dims with tears'). Tyutchev. Igray, pokuda nad toboyu ('Play until upon thee').
