Abstract

The article actualizes the role of the heritage of B.D. Hrinchenko in the Ukrainian dictionary process of the 20th–21st centuries, in particular: the place of his literary creativity, ethnographic and lexicographic activity in the creation of dictionaries active type; influence on the formation of the literary standard of the Ukrainian language through the compilation of a living (active) dictionary. A fragment of the lexical-illustrative material of the “Russian-Ukrainian Dictionary” ed. A.Yu. Krymsky and S.O. Yefremov based on the works of B.D. Hrinchenko – probable materials of an unpublished volume of the dictionary of living speech. The main attention is paid to the concept of the semantic structure of a dictionary article, its modeling according to the principle of the type of use of register units, as well as the dynamics using the example of the lexeme conscious (based on the materials of dictionaries of the 20th-21st centuries and card index based on the works of B.D. Нrinchenko). The semantic structure of the dictionary article of the word conscious in the analyzed works depends on the type of dictionary and the time of its creation in accordance with the language situation and purpose of the work. The creation of a modern dictionary of the active type requires a thorough analysis of the current naive (domestic) language picture of the world and the formation of such a semantic structure, which would reflect the priorities and needs of speakers in the use of a word in this or that sense or sub-sign depending on the field of use. Keywords: B.D. Hrinchenko, active dictionary, semantic structure of a dictionary article, dynamics.
