On the Peculiarities of the Interpretation of Lexical Units in a Dialectic Linguocultural Dictionary

The aim of this article is to substantiate the logic of building a procedure for interpreting lexical units in the Dictionary of the Siberian Wedding Rite, which is linguocultural in type. The actual basis of the dictionary is the Middle Ob region dialects, from which vocabulary words that represent the Siberian wedding ceremony were extracted. To implement the pioneer lexicographic idea, a new format of material interpretation is required, which implies adjustments to the representation of the linguocultural description. The article aims to solve problems related to the specifics of word interpretation: namely, going beyond the limits of traditional semantization and establishing a boundary between the descriptions of a word's meaning and of its cultural encyclopedic component. The tool for the interpretation of the wedding lexicon is a linguistic and cultural commentary, which consistently reveals the cultural component of the lexical meaning of the word, actualized in the real communication of native speakers. The article shows how the cultural connotative component is revealed in the semantics of the lexeme implemented in a dialect utterance, it is in it that the culturally significant meanings associated with the word are developed. Thus, a linguocultural commentary is a text with a clear composition. Its structure is based on facts of the real existence of a language unit. It is built on the basis of all the material available to the researcher and takes into account all instances of the lexeme's use, which supports the intepretation of the ritual word. Due to the inclusion of additional, as a rule, encyclopedic, information about the semantics of the lexicographed unit, taking into account all the facts of the realization of cultural meanings, the interpretation zone is expanded. The illustrations in the dictionary entry are arranged in accordance with the composition of the commentary, they are a mirror image of the scientific lexicographic description. Presented in the totality of implementations, the dictionary unit objectifies the traditional local culture. The procedure of linguocultural commenting presented in the article can become a universal basis for subsequent dictionary works studying the cultural semantics of the dialect vocabulary.
