Abstract

The article deals with a system of fundamental categories of explanatory lexicography, the key one being the category of normativity. Based on the classical works in theoretical lexicography and with respect to the current achievements of linguistics, the author uncovers the ontological specifics of a normative explanatory dictionary. The category of normativity is analyzed in terms of structural, functional, social, and historical aspects; the analysis also accounts for the problem of consistent interpretation of the literary language norm in an explanatory dictionary. The proposed understanding of the category of normativity helps to create a system of antinomies typical of explanatory lexicography and to present the types of fundamental explanatory dictionaries of the Russian language that are to be implemented under current technological conditions.
