INFORMATION SUPPORT OF RUSSIAN STUDIES: AN ELECTRONIC CORPUS OF THE RUSSIAN LEXICON (THE BEGINNING OF THE 21ST CENTURY)
Abstract
The metalinguistic project launched at Kazan Federal University is aimed at solving the actual problem of complex informatization of Russian linguistics in general and Russian lexicography in particular, as well as at creation of optimal conditions for the elaboration of various types of language references (dictionaries). The most perspective and effective direction of information support for linguistics is the creation of comprehensive corpora which provide the possibility to accumulate, optimally structure, replenish, and promptly give the user a variety of information. Electronic references function not only as a result of scientific research accumulating the information received, not only as a source of materials for further research, but also as a data processing tool, a tool for scientific research. At present, it is extremely important to create vocabulary databases along with text corps. The sources of our lexicographic complex being developed are more than sixty volumes of various dictionaries (more than 51,500 pages) which belong to the main lexicographic database of the Russian language. As the analysis shows, the existing dictionary Internet portals contain materials only from several dictionaries of the Russian language, published in the late 20th early 21st century. The Internet complex provides users with a much wider range of search possibilities in comparison with traditional (paper) references, in particular the formation of a search array (all dictionaries, one dictionary, a group of dictionaries selected by one or another characteristic), search by example and by characteristics of words described in the database. In this case, it is possible to implement a one-parameter and a multi-parameter search. The corpus contains an important component which includes the extended descriptions of all sources, along with a general characteristic and detailed parametric characteristic of each dictionary with the information about the word and the type of its presentation. Virtual reference databases will be linked with dictionaries and reference books already functioning on the Internet and with network text resources (in particular, with the National Corpus of the Russian language). The result of the project is the portal which is constantly supported and updated with a) the data from new dictionaries and new volumes of ongoing publications, b) new areas (characteristics, parameters). The electronic corpus will be available on the KFU web-site Kazan linguographic fund (open access, www.klf.kpfu.ru).
