Особливості мікроструктури сучасних словників антропонімів

Abstract

This article provides an attempt to evaluate the lexicographical achievements presented in modern anthroponymic dictionaries, their objects being names, surnames, nicknames, pseudonyms. Today this type of dictionaries is presented by a number of works, different in volume, created according to etymological, topographic and cartographic principles. The analysis of onomastycons’ microstructural elements has been conducted with consideration of some parameters, namely: grammar, stress, special marks, etymology, illustrative material, pasportization. Obligatory and facultative parameters have been singled out. The author suggests a table stating presence or absence of certain components in the structure of vocabulary entries. Samples of entries and the suggested table show that the main parameters of anthroponymic dictionaries, regardless of their goals and target consumers are: grammar (case forms, gender), stress, pasportization of units or illustrative material. Facultative parameters are: phonetic transcription, date of birth of a certain onym’s hosts, special marks, illustrative material, quantitative characteristics of special vocabulary units.
