The principles of the description of foreign-language inclusions in author dictionaries of different types

The article considers a complex of problems connected with representation of foreign-language inclusions in Russian author dictionaries. The approaches to reflection of the corresponding units in dictionaries created during the different periods of history of the author lexicography are analyzed. During the first (the 1860-1910-ies) and the second (the 1920-1950-ies) periods, foreign-language units were intentionally excluded from the dictionaries. At the third stage (the 1960-1980-ies), elements in graphics of foreign language start being considered by scholars as units which are in equal relations with units of the native language of the author, and, therefore, as deserving a dictionary description. However, it found reflection in dictionary practice only in the following decades, and it is connected with several tendencies in the author lexicography: with a tendency to the dictionary description of different, ideally of all, layers of the author's language and with an aspiration to creation of actually complete dictionaries. The idea of the need to include in the dictionary of an author's lexicon units with foreign-language elements was already realized in many modern monographic author dictionaries. Constructed on the works of certain poets and writers (among them are Griboyedov, Pushkin, Dostoevsky, etc.), they include two parts: Russian and foreign-language, the latter being a separate block. According to kinds of foreign-language inclusions, different types of entries are used in dictionaries: 1) for separate words and 2) for expressions consisting of two and more words. It is shown that the type of information in entries on inclusions depends on the dictionary type. Thus, methodological coherence of representation of units, shown in different graphics, in the dictionary emphasizes the fruitfulness of uniting within one dictionary of the Russian and foreign-language parts of an author's lexicon. In the article, special attention is paid to the description of foreign-language inclusions in the composite Slovar'yazyka russkoypoezii XX veka [Dictionary of the Language of the 20th-Century Russian Poetry]. This dictionary represents the language of 10 poets who created mainly during the Silver Age. The orientation on the dialogue of cultures characteristic for the era found expression in a big massif of foreign-language inclusions whose dictionary description is obviously important. This dictionary shows the resources of a composite reference book in the comparative research of such units. The introduced data testifies that there has been a certain evolution in the attitude to foreign-language inclusions as to the subject of the description in the author lexicography: transition from a conscious exception of inclusions from author dictionaries to their obligatory introduction in such dictionaries. The latter tendency is in line with the current trend in author's language representation in all its completeness by dictionary means.
