Synonymy of the Siberian dialect through the prism of complex lexicographic parametrisation

This article is devoted to polyaspectual classification of synonymic rows of the Siberian dialect (the dialect of Vershinino village located in Tomsk Region) - one of the oldest dialects of the Mid-Ob River area. The research is made within the project of complex lexicographic parametrisation of a dialect with attraction of dictionaries of different types (explanatory and thematic). The Dictionary of synonyms of the Siberian dialect is the final step of the project. The urgency of composing the dictionary is caused by the productivity and informativity of the lexicographic method for the study of the Russian language and its dialects. The conception of the Dictionary of Siberian Dialect Synonyms is offered by O. Blinova. The macro-structure of the dictionary is represented by entries ordered alphabetically. The micro-structure of the dictionary is defined by the structure of the entry, which includes three zones: initial, interpretative and illustrative. The interpretative zone is presented by the interpretation of the dominant meaning and by semasiological, culturological, lexicological, grammatical characteristics of synonymic row components. The inclusion of various characteristics in the structure of the interpretative zone of the dictionary allowed to create the classification of synonymic rows of the dialect. The synonymic rows unite words of one or different parts of speech by lexico-grammatical correlation. So the synonymic rows are divided into: 1) uniform, consisting of synonyms belonging to one part of speech: nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, pronouns; 2) mixed, including different parts of speech and set phrases. By the types of synonyms in relation to the dominant synonymic rows can be: 1) uniform, including: a) absolute synonyms or doublets; b) relative or semantic synonyms; c) expressive and stylistic synonyms; 2) mixed, consisting of synonyms of different types. In the aspect of motivation three types of synonymic rows are classified: a) rows consisting of motivated components; b) rows consisting of unmotivated components; c) mixed rows consisting of motivated and unmotivated components. In the aspect of figurativeness synonymic rows are of two types: rows with figurative units and rows without figurative units. In the aspect of connection of synonymy with other phenomena of the dialect synonymic rows can have or lack the formal version of the word. By the length of the row there are binominal consisting of two synonyms (pair of synonyms) and poly-nominal synonymic rows consisting of three and more synonyms. The use of the lexicographic method allowed to present the lexical richness of the Siberian dialect. The lexicographic method as a productive method of the linguistic analysis consists in the systematic count of units of language by means of lexicography. It is characterised by some advantages: 1) the fullest coverage of the language material; 2) systematization on the basis of the chosen criterion; 3) multidimensional interpretation; 4) interrelation with the theory; 5) a high degree of informational content. So the dictionary of synonyms is not only a result in the description of the lexical phenomenon of the dialect, but also a tool and a method of studying synonymy.
