Abstract

This article deals with the problem of the comprehensive lexicographic description of modern names of a person. It describes the main dictionaries of names of a person in Russian, determines some aspects of the description of the mentioned nominations. In national linguistics there are only a few lexicographic publications which give linguistic description of the name of a person. Among them are the following most representative ones: “Explanatory dictionary of the names of women. More than 7 000 entries” by Kolesnikov N.P.; “Russian naming of inhabitants. Dictionary-reference book” by Gorodetskaya I.L. and Levashov E.A.; and “New persons in labor market: dictionary-reference book” by Isaeva N.V. Each of these dictionaries describes a special topic group of the names of a person. The first two dictionaries present nominations in the context of their stylistic sphere of application. The dictionary-reference bok by Isaeva N.V. includes 424 words and word combinations designating new names of persons in relation with their professions or jobs (in several cases apart from semantic characteristics some synonymic variants, origin and peculiarities of spelling are given). The dictionary-reference book by Zaitseva E.A. “Names of a person in the Russian language of the beginning of the XXI century” describes more than 1 200 nouns –names of a person which are actively used in Russian at the beginning of the XXI century, including about 300 absolutely new names of a person which have been mentioned for the first time in the lexicographic practice. The dictionary offers a comprehensive description of names of a person in the Russian language of the beginning of the XXI century: definitions of words are given, examples of usage in quotations and expressions are shown, and pages of the newest dictionaries which contain these nouns are noted. If necessary, some structural meanings, etymological references, stylistic level, detailed description of the word-building pattern and its morphemic structure are provided. Some peculiarities of pronunciation and spelling are also explained. Moreover, this dictionary has references to synonymic or interchangeable nominations.
