Theory → Dictionary → Theory → Dictionary

In the article the author determines the role of twointerrelated phenomena - Theory and Dictionary - which is based on the scientificmovement with its theory development and lexicographical implementation. The theory ofmotivology with its aspects and a number of motivological dictionaries (1000 issues intotal) has been chosen for consideration.In the article the author marks three stages of development of motivology: 1) 1970s;2) the end of 1970s and 1980s; 3) 1990s till present. Each stage is characterized by theinterrelation of Theory and Dictionary which is embodied in the schemes demonstratingthe theory development of each stage and their lexicographical implementation. At thesame time the content of this or that theory and its aspects are considered, the dictionariesof different types (comparative, functional, terminological) and the information about theconcept, type, structure of the dictionaries and dictionary articles are given. Also attentionis paid to the system of motivological units and marks that are used in the dictionary.One of the parts of the study of motivological dictionaries is the development of itssource study, research novelty, evolution of the theory of the dictionary. The study of theinterrelation and interconnection of the theory of motivology and dictionaries revealed thevariety of schemes such as Theory-Dictionary-Theory-Dictionary, Theory-Dictionary-Dictionary-Theory, Dictionary-Theory, Theory-Dictionary, Theory-Dictionary-Theory.The table presented at the end of the article demonstrates one more scheme of theinterrelation of Theory and Dictionary when five other motivological dictionaries (thefrequency dictionary, the dictionary of lexical motivators, the dictionary of regularformants, the dictionary of the forms of subjective assessment, the motivological dictionaryof the Siberian dialect) are compiled on the basis of one dictionary (the motivologicaldictionary of dialects). The table also demonstrates poly-aspects of the interconnection ofthe theory of words motivation and lexicography. This interconnection covers all theaspects of motivology: lexicographical, comparative, socio- and age-related, dynamic,functional, and ontological.The author of the article draws the readers' attention to the high scientific productivityof the interconnection of Theory and Dictionary. Their interconnection and interrelationimprove the level of research due to the use of huge material which had lexicographicaland sometimes polysystemic processing. The level of lexicographical works with theresults of theoretical research is increasing and it leads to the compilation and developmentof the dictionaries which are already known adding new parameters to them (for example, amotivological and comparative dictionary, a dictionary of figurative words, a dictionary ofintensive words).In the conclusion, the author says that due to the interconnection and interrelation ofthe motivological Theory and motivological Dictionary a new genre of scientificproduction has appeared: Dictionary-research which represents new linguistic information,new knowledge.
