The article defines the categorical-semantic notation (tagging) of the word-forms of the basic lexemes of the Mongolian language; these word-forms are characterized by their occurrence. The article provides a list, containing the basic vocabulary of the modern Mongolian language (454 word-forms). The calculation of the frequency of word-forms was carried out on the material of the General Corpus of the Modern Mongolian Language (GCML).This work is based on the same principles of quantitative Mongolian Study as the previous works of the author. However, the most original feature of this dictionary is the presence of a special categorical-semantic notation (tagging) in it. Such a notation is focused on the tasks of the semantic typology of the world languages. It is designed for potential typological comparability of this dictionary with similarly compiled dictionaries of the other languages of the world. In this article, the basic 454 word-forms of the modern Mongolian language can be found, and they are rather common in the GCML-1a: the absolute frequency in the GCML is over 255, and the relative frequency is respectively 220 ipm (I.) The name of the word-form in a quasi-orthographic recording. The quasi-orthographic recording differs from the proper spelling by removing all the differences in the registers (capital/small letters). (II.) The generalized grammateme (i. e., not only the grammatemes themselves, but also bundles of homographic grammatemes are included here). (III.) The generalized lexeme (i. e., not only proper lexemes are included here, but also homographic lexeme bundles). (IV.) The semantic gloss-mark, attributed to the corresponding word-form or lexeme (strictly speaking, it is assigned to one of the members of the bundle of homographic segments, which coincides with the name of the word-form). This column has a function of an informal mnemonic reminder to indicate which lexical meaning possesses the given word-form. The reminder is intended for a typologist-user, especially not familiar with the Mongolian language (V.) The categorical- semantic gloss-mark, attributed to the given word-form (more precisely, to a bundle of homographic word-forms) in the GCML. This column in the given table is the key. (VI.) The absolute frequency of the word-form (more precisely, the bundle of homographic word-forms) in the GCML-1a. (VII.) The rank of the word-form (more precisely, the bundle of homographic word-forms) in the GCML-1a. (VIII.) The number of the texts from the GCML-1a, in which the given word-form (more precisely, a bundle of homographic word-forms) occurs. (IX.) The rank of the word-form (more precisely, a bundle of homographic word-forms) in the frequency dictionary, ordered by decreasing the number of the texts from the GCML-1a. The categorical-semantic notation (tagging) of the word-forms of the basic lexemes of the Mongolian language is presented in the form of a table, ordered in the direct alphabetical order of the categorical-semantic marks.
