Abstract
In oral communication, an active role belongs not only to verbal units but to nonverbal units as well. These units constitute the lexical part of the so called body language and are known by name of gestures (of different semiotic classes). The paper presents the New linguo-semiotic dictionary aimed to solve some lexical aspects of the problem of multimodality the kernel of which is the description of general patterns and formulation of specific rules of speech-gesture interaction. It is shown that this dictionary takes a separate taxon in a classification of dictionaries The paper reveals the ideology, structure and content of the linguo-semiotic dictionary. Its basis is the notion of semiotic conceptualization of human body. In the first part of the paper the main constituents of the conceptualization, tools and method of lexicographic analysis and metalanguage of the dictionary are described. The second part contains two examples of dictionary entries (ЗУБЫ ‘teeth’ and НОГТИ ‘nails’) and it also demonstrates the links between several types of information within the vocable.
