On the Principles of Compiling the “Thematic Dictionary of Arkhangelsk Colloquialisms”

Resumen

The research group of the Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M. V. Lomonosov is implementing the project "Thematic dictionary of Arkhangelsk dialects with electronic support", supported by the Russian Scientific Foundation. The aim of the project is the publication of three editions of the dictionary which will include vocabulary reflecting the traditional worldview of the Arkhangelsk peasant, and the creation of an electronic dialect corpus which will include materials recorded in dialectological expeditions in the Arkhangelsk region for sixty years and stored in the card file of the Department of Russian Language and Speech Culture. This article describes the construction of the first edition of the dictionary and the electronic dialect corpus. The first issue of the thematic dictionary and electronic corpus contains vocabulary naming clothes, shoes, hats, mittens, socks, stockings, jewelry. The vocabulary is divided into thematic subgroups, in each subgroup the words are arranged in alphabetical order. In the electronic dictionary (https://arkhdialect.narfu.ru/index.html) markup is given for thematic groups and subgroups, for districts of the Arkhangelsk region, grammatical features. The dictionary contains forty names that are not marked in the Arkhangelsk Regional Dictionary. The thematic dictionary includes all the words that are recorded in expeditions, regardless of the time of collection, even if some words have already fallen out of use. Such material will help researchers and collectors not only in the field of dialectology, but also in the field of folklore, ethnography, cultural studies, as well as museum workers to study collections of folk costumes and folk singing groups to create stage costumes.
