Journal Title: Мова - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 25

Abstract

The relevance of this study is the question of rational arrangement of the toponymical lexis entries in the dictionary, namely the alphabetical (in accordance with the plan of expression) or thematic (in accordance with the content). The analysis of toponymical lexis incorporation methods into the dictionary body is the purpose of the study, object are 11 language dictionaries of the English language. The types of entries location in the language dictionary are the subject of research. The results of research show that the most common approach is the location of the toponymical lexis in alphabetical arrangement that provides an easy search of an essential element in the dictionary. However, the thematic approach supporters consider that in the alphabetical arrangement of vocabulary units, the lexis is presented in the form of disparate elements, rather than as a system. It is considered to be a compromise alpha-cluster principle of the dictionaries, when derived from the header words, arranged in alphabetical order, are defined not in different entries, but as part of the lexeme dictionary entry — producing bases as an underentry. The processing of lexicographical sources indicates the practices of toponymical lexis arrangement beyond the dictionary in the application, and also the replacement of toponyms in the dictionary body, and in the application. However, the essence of these methods in the notes to the dictionary is not explained. The practical significance of the work is the detailed analysis of the place-names incorporation principles in the linguistic dictionaries of the English language and their further application in practical lexicography.
