Alien in Its Own: Borrowings in the New Russian Phraseology

The article is devoted to the problem of borrowings in the new Russian phraseology. With all the wary attitude towards direct lexical borrowings, phraseological borrowings are not critically evaluated either by society or by linguistic purists. The reason for this is that, unlike borrowed vocabulary, foreign phraseological units, as a rule, are formed by tracing, i.e. literal translation of their components. This makes their imagery transparent and recognizable. The modern Russian language, after political and other changes in the 90s of the last century, was enriched with many phraseological cripples. Some of them are periphrastic turns denoting certain spheres of life that were previously alien in Soviet society. Expressions of military subjects (mostly journalistic style) also belong to this kind of turnovers: star wars, nuclear club, nuclear umbrella, scorched earth tactics, etc. This includes the names of the belligerents: green berets; red berets; blue helmets etc. The thematic group of calques from English, one way or another connected with the characteristics of power, bosses, is represented in Russian by idiomatics with vivid imagery. Such is the group of phraseological units adopted by the Russian language with the carpet component: call someone to the carpet; be on the carpet; go / go to the carpet, etc. An analysis of the phraseological neologisms of the political and banking spheres is also proposed.

PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS-TRASFORMS IN THE PROSE OF I. ILF AND E. PETROV

Рurpose. Studying the types of transformation of phraseological units in the satirical works of I. Ilf and E. Petrov, analysis of structural and semantic features of transformed phraseological units. Scientific novelty. Determining the features of the individual style of these authors, describing the specifics of the stylistic use of stable combinations in satirical prose of the early 20th century, as well as indicating the main directions of changes in the composition of phraseological units of the language. Materials and methods. Phraseologisms-transforms were extracted from the text using a continuous sampling method as well as the method of statistical calculations, structural-semantic analysis and the comparative method. Results. The semantics of phraseological units-transforms is closely related to the context; certain phraseological units are used to describe subjective states and emphasize attribute meanings, as well as create a comic effect. Practical implications. Тhe material considered can be used in teaching special courses in Russian phraseology for philology students and similar elective courses in a secondary school or school with in-depth study of individual subjects of the humanities, as well as in the process of preparing schoolchildren for participation in Russian language olympiads.

PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS AS PART OF TEACHING RUSSIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE TO ADVANCED STUDENTS: STANDARD AND OCCASIONAL USAGE

Phraseological units are central to developing communicative competence, which is viewed as the main goal of teaching modern languages. They contribute to making our speech more figurative, expressive, and convey additional emotional, evaluative and pragmatic connotations, which determines an effective interaction with native speakers. In addition to the usual use, phraseological units are often subjected to individual semantic-structural transformations, which, in particular, are typical of newspaper texts. Acquiring the skills of using phraseological units, especially with transformations, is of particular difficulty for language learners, since this contradicts the perception of these units as ready-made and permanent in terms of structure and lexical components. Accordingly, this requires a deep understanding of their connotative, pragmatic, emotional-expressive and evaluative characteristics responsible for the transformations made. This calls for a methodically adequate presentation and the choice of practical tasks so that international students may use the expressions concerned in the proper form. The paper examines the common challenges that international students face when studying Russian phraseology. It also briefly reviews the types of transformations, and provides the author’s recommendations related to incorporating phraseological expressions, including the ones with transformations, in the learning process.

Фразеологизмы с компонентом "денежная единица" в русском и английском языках

The article presents the results of a study aimed at revealing common characteristics and differences in the structure, lexical composition and semantics of English and Russian phraseological units that contain monetary units. Reflecting universal or culture-specific mentality characteristics, these phrases represent people’s attitude to money, to wealth or poverty. They also disclose people’s values, customary ways of living and inclinations, as well as their apprehension of one’s financial and social status. Both mono- and bilingual phraseological dictionaries served as sources of samples. The authors selected 220 Russian phrases and 116 English phrases. The sample phrases include proverbs and sayings, idioms, fixed expressions, collocations, metaphors, phraseological fusions that contain names of monetary units. It is interesting to note that in both languages names of coins that are out of circulation are quite frequent in phraseology. The authors employed component and semantic analysis to investigate the phrase samples features. The sample phrases were divided into several groups depending on the kind of monetary unit used as the key lexeme. The quantitative data unveil that the names of small coins (kopeck, penny, cent, etc.) outnumber the words “ruble” and “pound”. The study has shown that names of small coins in phraseology do not always mean “little money”. They sometimes mean large amounts of money, “a fortune”, mentioned in an ironic tone. Many phrases include small coins alongside with bigger ones. Small and large sums contrasted help to form utterances that moralize and evaluate people’s deeds in both languages. The next step was to divide the samples into three groups. Each one contained phrases with a definite connotation: negative, neutral and positive. The comparative analysis reveals that negative subjective evaluative component is frequent in both languages. However, the quantitative data demonstrate a substantial shift towards negative connotation of monetary units in the Russian phraseology. In the Russian phraseology negative phrases with monetary units constitute 63% of all samples, whereas in the English phraseology negative ones account for 28%. The use of names of small coins helps figuratively express how worthless, miserable or trivial the speech subject is. English phrases with neutral connotation are frequent (40%), but only 6% of neutral Russian phrases were found. This indicates that monetary units in the Russian phraseology tend to be used in utterances expressing either appraisal or condemnation and discontent. They substitute lengthy, neutral descriptive expressions. In the English language neutral phrases often have a nominative function and form names of objects and phenomena, without evaluating them in any subjective way.

Некоторые аспекты внутрикатегориальных связей аксиологической и ситуативной модальности (на материале соматических фразеологизмов русского языка)

This article addresses the features of representing various meanings of situational and axiological modality in the Russian phraseological space and examines certain aspects of intracategorical connections between types of subjective modality. The research material comprises 154 stable combinations with “bodily” lexicon, obtained through continuous sampling from authoritative lexicographic sources, namely: the Great Phraseological Dictionary of the Russian Language edited by V. N. Telia, the Phraseological Dictionary of the Russian Literary Language by A. I. Fedorov, and the Historical-Etymological Dictionary of Russian Phraseology by A. K. Birikh, V. M. Mokienko, and L. I. Stepanova. Additionally, contextual variants of the usage of the stated phraseologisms in artistic and journalistic texts included in the Russian National Corpus were analyzed. The study demonstrates the ability of figurative expressions with somatic components to form a modal context and express both specific situational meanings of subjective modality (possibility / impossibility, desirability, necessity, etc.) and various aspects of axiological modality, which are directly related to the value picture of the world of the Russian people. Special attention is paid to the analysis of those shades of modal meanings that overlap and are in motivated interrelated relationships in stable combinations.

Russian phraseological units with the concept of "Homeland" in phraseological dictionaries

The subject of the study is Russian phraseological units with the concept “Motherland” and its associative images in the Russian language. Acting as special significant linguistic units with national-cultural semantics, these phraseological units play a role in history, culture and reflect the soul of the Russian people. Uniting the hearts and thoughts of people of different nationalities of the country into a single whole, the word “Motherland”, which has a sacred meaning, represents an internal and spiritual connection between peoples. The article analyzes the lexical meanings, synonyms, and concept of this word in Russian phraseology. The purpose of this work is not only to identify phraseological units with this concept in Russian phraseological dictionaries, but also to understand the national character, the soul of the Russian person through their semantics. In order to achieve this goal, this article uses descriptive, associative methods, methods of classification and grouping, synthesis and generalization, linguocultural and conceptual analysis. When identifying and analyzing Russian phraseological units with the concept “Motherland”, it is noted that they have positive and negative aspects. Phraseological dictionaries of the Russian language mainly present linguistic examples demonstrating the positive attitude of the Russian people towards their homeland, for example, a sense of responsibility/loyalty/love for their country, self-sacrifice for their native land, a sense of pride/belonging to the fatherland, etc. Moreover, the word “Motherland” in Russian linguistic culture, associated with the images of “fatherland”, “home”, “land”, “mother”, “birch”, etc., has an important meaning in the consciousness of the Russian people. The study of phraseological units of the Russian language with this concept in Russian phraseological dictionaries allows speakers of a different linguistic culture to understand the images contained in them, the spiritual values of native speakers of this language.

ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN PHRASEOLOGISMS OF WATER TRANSPORT DISCOURSE IN SOCIOLINGUISTIC COMPARISON

The purpose of this research is to identify phraseological units of water transport discourse in English and Russian and to compare the sociolinguistic component of these groups of language units. The object of study is phraseological units that have lexemes in their composition, which are the names of water transport infrastructure (sea and river), as well as their parts, details, equipment, functions, people involved in the operation of water transport. The subject of the research is the common and different reasons for the emergence of English and Russian water transport idioms and the peculiarities of their use in English- and Russian-speaking societies. In the process of performing the work, general research methods of analysis and synthesis, elements of the quantitative method, procedures of sociolinguistic, linguocultural and comparative methods as methods of separate paradigms of linguistics, non-paradigmatic descriptive method were applied. In addition, linguistic methods of semantic, phraseological, and etymological analysis were applied. The result of the work is the identification of a number of water transport idioms that entered English and Russian phraseology at different times and in different ways, an attempt to typologize them and the definition of sociolinguistic features of the compared groups of English and Russian idioms. The main conclusions are that among the phraseological units of the water transport discourse, 7 groups are distinguished based on the assignment of key components to different lexical-semantic groups; the correlation of equivalent (28%), background (48%) and non-equivalent (14%) pairs of English and Russian phraseological units of water transport discourse was calculated; 11% of phraseological units of one language do not have phraseological equivalents in another language. A certain group of English idioms that originated in water transport have Russian counterparts that originated in other discourses. The main reason for the asymmetric state lies in the much longer history of the English fleet than the Russian one, in the much greater employment of the population of Great Britain and other English-speaking countries in water transport, as well as the long period of time when the English language, according to the decision of the IMO, has a communicative monopoly in international shipping.

Ways to Neutralize Gender Attribution of Phraseological Units (Based on Media Texts)

The article is devoted to the analysis of cases of neutralization of gender attribution of phraseological units in their live use in modern media speech. Russian Russian phraseology The aim of the work is to study the dynamics of ideas about the masculine and feminine gender in Russian phraseology based on the identification of forms of neutralization of gender attribution, their classification and analysis of the noted transformations when using stable combinations in newspaper texts of the National Corpus of the Russian language. The following research methods are used in the work: continuous sampling method, observation of language material, lexicographic, lexico-semantic and contextual analysis, classification, analysis, generalization. Three ways of neutralization of gender attribution of phraseological units are considered: neutralization of gender at the level of dictionary definitions (indication of kinship with a person as a whole, without gender differentiation: Ivan, who does not remember kinship), neutralization at the grammatical level (compatibility with the object of the opposite grammatical gender: sleeping beauty), the use of phraseological turnover in relation to the person of the opposite pola (free Cossack). It is shown that, despite the strength of gender stereotypes in the linguistic consciousness, they are not frozen: gender representations change in the process of social development, which is expressed in the transformation of semantics and the compatibility of gender-marked phraseological units, rethinking their one-line connection with masculinity / femininity.The identification of ways to neutralize the gender attribution of phraseological units contributes to the study of gender manifestations in phraseology. The description of modern phraseological usage is important from the point of view of ascertaining the constancy in the linguistic consciousness of established gender stereotypes and shifts in their perception, as well as the accumulation of data on the mechanisms of functioning of idiomatics and the development of phraseological meaning.

Pengungkapan Karakter Manusia melalui Fraseologi dengan Komponen Kata Птица/Ptitsa/‘Unggas’ dalam Bahasa Rusia: Kajian Etnolinguistik

This study aims to describe the depiction of human characters in Russian phraseology that contains the word птица/ptitsa/ 'poultry'. The study is descriptive qualitative and uses an ethnolinguistics approach to analyze the data, especially to analyze the meaning of phraseology based on the background of its appearance . The data are excerpts of sentences in novels, books, or electronic newspapers collected through the ruscorpora.ru website using the listening method with note-taking techniques. Data analysis used referential pairing method with ethnolinguistic approach. Seven phraseological data containing the words курица/kuritsa/ 'chicken', гусь/gus'/ 'black swan', лебед/lebed'/ 'white swan', and гоголь/gogol'/ 'golden-eyed duck' were found. Of the eight data obtained, seven data are phraseologies that express bad character, and one phraseology that expresses good character. The word курица/kuritsa/ 'chicken' represents a bad character in the form of a fool, someone with poor and careless writing, and someone who has no stand. The word гусь/gus'/ 'black swan' represents the character of someone who is cunning, лебед/lebed'/ 'white swan' represents the good character of loyalty and the bad character of laziness, while, the word гоголь/gogol'/ 'golden-eyed duck' represents arrogance.

Methods of teaching phraseological units in the context of polylingualism

The methodology of teaching different types of phraseological units of English is discussed language. Phraseological units, the meaning of which is difficult to deduce from the lexical elements that compose them, are highlighted. It is argued that a full-fledged lexical competence includes possessing a certain number of stable phrases of the studied language. A methodological approach is proposed that allows the use of phraseological units as material for activating communicative competence. After the appearance of the phraseological unit, its literal translation is given, then it is carried out oral discussion of what this phraseology can mean. During the discussion (including erroneous and inaccurate interpretations), communication participants identify semantic nuances for themselves that will help them develop language thinking and language guesswork. At the last stage, students are asked to recall a Russian phraseology with the same meaning. The procedure was successfully tested in classes with students of a language university.

Interpretation of Phraseological Units Using Chinese Language in Russian-Chinese Phraseological Dictionaries

The description of Russian phraseological units by means of the Chinese language in lexicographic practice is considered. Dictionary articles, their structure and content from six main phraseological dictionaries published in China from the second half of the last century to the present day are analyzed. The results of the research showed that the explanation of Russian phraseology in these lexicographic sources is carried out in two ways: through interpretation and selection of a similar expression. It is shown that the second method is implemented in two variants: as interpretation-translation and literal translation. It has been established that interpretation-translation differs from actual interpretation and literal translation by the presence of two equivalent functions: explanation and interpretation. The compound description model «analogous expression + additional interpretation», which is most often used in dictionary articles where there is no proper interpretation and etymological information is also revealed. On the contrary, when they are present in the dictionary article, a Chinese analogous expression is usually used as a variant of the explanation of the Russian phraseological unit. The authors come to the conclusion that the volume of dictionary articles and models of description of Russian phraseology depend on the goals of dictionary compilers: a brief reference presentation of phraseology, a detailed explanation through an extensive etymological commentary, representation of materials for learning by demonstrating examples, etc.

Representation of a woman in English and Russian phraseology

This study is aimed to discover the representation of the image of a woman in the phraseological fund of the English and Russian languages. Phraseological units and proverbs are the research material in both languages. All material is considered from the point of view of female appearance and female character representation. Both of these aspects are studied with positive and negative connotations. So the analysis included the study of woman’s appearance, her mental abilities (kindness and angerness), talkativeness and the ability of a woman to be a mistress in her house

To the origins of historical phraseography: Stable сompound сomplexes in “Materials for the dictionary of the Old Russian language” by I. I. Sreznevsky

The article is devoted to the scientific heritage of I. I. Sreznevsky in connection with actively developing now historical phraseology and historical phraseography, the urgent problem of which is creation of the phraseological dictionaries of the language of pre-national period. The purpose of the paper is to study the retrospective of Russian and Slavonic historical phraseography, so it deals with the systematical and full research of stable compound complexes that have become the subject of description in Sreznevsky’s “Materials for the Dictionary of Old Russian language”, techniques and methods of their lexicographic interpretation, as well as the theoretical position of Sreznevsky as a lexicographer and one of founders of Russian phraseology. It is concluded that in the history of lexicography a bright representative of Petersburg Philological school Sreznevsky not only created the first historical dictionary of Old Russian texts, but also put the base of historical phraseography, since his dictionary is the first experience of describing the diachronic state of phraseology. The study of stable complexes presented in Sreznevsky’s dictionary, fulfiled with methods of phraseological identification, component, grammatical and lexicographic definitions analysis within general historical and systematic approaches, showed variety of linguistic material: idiomatics, traditional formulas, equivalents of Greek words, stable prepositional combinations, complex terms and names, compound proper names, proverbial expressions. Their interpretation outlines principles of lexicographic description of stable combinations in a historic dictionary and identifies important controversial issues (phraseology selection and explanation, the combination of linguistic and encyclopedic approaches, the representation of variability and synonymy of phraseology, the place of phraseology in a dictionary entry, etc.).

Russian phraseology in the context of N. M. Shansky’s teachings

The article focuses on the contribution to Russian phraseology made by the famous Russian linguist Nikolai Maksimovich Shansky whose 100th birthday anniversary is celebrated in 2022. The research aims to analyse the scientist’s views on phraseology and his conception of phraseological units. Moreover, the paper explores the multi-aspect descrip- tion of the Russian phraseological fund and the classifications of phraseological units based on different grounds, namely with regard to their structure, origin, and stylistic marking. The research demonstrates the relevance of N. M. Shansky’s teachings at present. The scientist’s works in the fields of phraseology and linguodidactics comprise the material of the study. The scientist’s versatile knowledge, his linguistic knack, and great diligence enabled N. M. Shansky to contri bute significantly to the development of phraseology and phraseological formation. He also succeeded in substantiating the connection between phraseology and lexis, phraseology and stylistics, word formation and phraseological formation as well as in highlighting the role of phraseological units in preserving the Proto-Slavic lexical heritage. The paper notes the immense contribution of the scientist to popularising the Russian language, which is implemented in the numerous books, textbooks, and dictionaries for schoolchildren, including phraseological ones, which he authored. The results of N. M. Shansky’s scientific and methodological activities determined the development of scientific research in Russia and abroad for many years to come. The systematisation of N. M. Shansky’s phraseological legacy is accompanied by references to the works by phraseo logists, lexicographers, linguoculturologists who develop the scientist’s ideas. In addition, the paper contains my historical and etymological materials developed in line with the traditions of his scientific school.

Scientist, enlightener, innovator... (to the 100th anniversary of the birth of N. M. Shansky)

The paper concerns the centenary of M. N. Shansky’s birth and provides a brief overview of those aspects of the scholar’s scientific and creative activity which he was involved in as an initiator of traditions and an innovator. For instance, he authored the first higher education textbook "Phraseology of Modern Russian". Moreover, the structure and content of the textbook "Lexicology of Modern Russian" became models for the authors of other vocabulary textbooks for many decades. The popular science genre of "history of words" targeted at teachers and schoolchildren was developed in N. M. Shansky’s papers and books. The popularisation of the genre in the pages of the "Russian Language at School" journal (N. M. Shansky was its editor-in-chief for over 40 years) made the "history of words" an integral part of the Russian language teaching process. N. M. Shansky played a significant role in the development of Russian phraseology and phraseography. He not only created an expanded, in comparison with V. V. Vinogradov’s, typology of phraseological units of the Russian language, but also authored and co-authored many phraseological dictionaries, including the first etymological dictionary of Russian phraseological units. N. M. Shansky also occupied a special place in the history of Russian lexicography: he authored and co-authored a host of Russian language dictionaries, including the multi-volume "Etymological Dictionary of the Russian Language", and several typologically new dictionaries. Moreover, as the author of the lexicography section in a textbook on lexicology, he laid the foundations for the tradition of typologic al characterisation of Russian dictionaries. The content of his essays about dictionaries is also valuable. I prove this thesis in more detail using N. M. Shansky’s essay on the "Shakhmatov’s" academic dictionary of the Russian language. This paper attempts not only to comprehensively characterise the legacy of N. M. Shansky as a lexicologist, phraseologist, lexicographer, and methodologist, but also to emphasise his innovation and the invaluable contribution he made to the development of national science and education.

The State and Prospects of the Study of Russian Phraseology in the Sixth Grade of the Kyrgyz School

Paper we analyzed the state of affairs and outlines the prospects for the study of Russian phraseology in the sixth grade of the Kyrgyz school. The relevance of the research is determined by the fact that knowledge of phraseology by Kyrgyz students helps them to master the literary norms of word use, to make the most accurate choice of the optimal speech means of the language. Based on this, the purpose of this work is to study the content of Russian language programs and textbooks for the sixth grades of the Kyrgyz school, determine the availability and diversity of theoretical and practical material, as well as determine the level of proficiency in Russian phraseology by sixth grade students of the Kyrgyz school. To solve the problems of the study, the theoretical concept of “bilingualism” was analyzed, and the features of this linguistic phenomenon among representatives of the Kyrgyz culture were described. The results of the study made it possible to identify positive aspects that require improvement in the educational (theoretical and practical) material of textbooks on the topic “Phraseology”, as well as to determine the level of proficiency in Russian phraseology by sixth-graders of the Kyrgyz school. The study resulted in recommendations for building a methodological system for teaching Russian phraseology to Kyrgyz schoolchildren in order to improve their phraseological literacy.

Oppositive Semantics in English and Russian Phraseological Units by the example of PHU with a Semantic Component MAN

The article deals with a complex analysis of a phraseological unit (PhU) phenomenon: its linguo-cognitive basis, structural-semantic potential as well as actualization peculiarities in the English and Russian linguo-cultural spaces under the manifestation of a multidimensional oppositive sense through PhUs with a semantic component man . The study establishes that the component exhibits the characteristics of a polysemant in the English language and reconstructs three basic modi of entity: mental-ethical, cognitive-psychological, socio-economic. The semantic component man is less polysemantic in Russian compared to the English equivalent and represents a monolithic spiritual modus. This fundamental difference is caused by the tendency to the ideal interpretation of typically material senses which is specific to the Russian linguoculture. It is revealed that oppositive semantics manifests itself both on the level of internal relations (between the components within a PhU) and on the level of the external ones (with other PhUs) in the two languages. Besides, the main oppositive load is carried out through lexical-grammatical means: antonyms, adversative conjunctions and particles that form symmetrical and asymmetrical contrastives. The study proves that oppositive patterns with a similar structure mark fundamentally different archisemes in English and in Russian, modeling diametrically opposed existential-axiological trajectories (material and ideal correspondingly) in the linguocultures under examination.

Image of the enemy in Russian phraseology and paremiology

With the intensity of modern research devoted to the reconstruction of the linguistic world picture and cultural linguistics, such conceptual oppositions as “friend” - “enemy,” naturally, rose the scientific interest. The purpose of the study is a multifaceted semantic analysis of the concept “enemy” on the most complete Russian phraseological and paremiological material reflected in a three-volume dictionary. The corpus of these paremiological dictionaries includes the classic collections of Russian proverbs and sayings, extracts from the latest dialect dictionaries and the records made by the compilers. With this approach, the concept “enemy” receives a detailed description, taking into account the entire set of paremiological variants. This ensures the possibility of structural-semantic modeling of the analyzed paremiology, and the dominants of the concept “enemy” are revealed. One of the tasks of the analysis is to determine to what extent and in what way the semantic characteristics of the lexeme “enemy” and some of its synonyms are implemented as part of three types of paremias - stable comparisons (comparatives), sayings (resp. phraseological units) and proverbs. The revealed semantic dominants correlate with the characteristics of the concept “enemy” in explanatory dictionaries. The proposed analysis shows that the concept “enemy” and its lexemes constitute an active part of the Russian phraseology and paremiology. The word “enemy” (vorog), which forms the main part of this fund, preserves the ancient semantic impulses and is actualized in Russian paremias. At the same time, the semantic characteristics of the corresponding lexicon largely determine the connotative and axiological potential of proverbs and sayings. However, quantitatively and qualitatively, they are represented in them in different ways. On the one hand, such differences are observed in three different groups of Russian paremiology: in stable comparisons they are relatively few in number, in phraseological units they are semantically selective, in proverbs they are extremely active and multifaceted. Their imagery, reproducing both ancient and modern semantics and connotation of this concept, allows to reconstruct a bright and multidimensional “enemy image” in the mirror of the Russian language.

Innovative lexicographic discourse: educational representation of phraseology

The article presents an innovative authors’ approach to representing Russian phraseology in a dictionary for schoolchildren. The relevance of the research is determined by the need to improve educational lexicographic technologies in connection with the increasing role of the dictionary as a means of teaching languages and a motivation for language learning. The purpose of the study is to reveal the linguodidactic potential of innovative educational lexicographic discourse in the detective genre. The topic is revealed on the material of the author’s phraseological dictionaries developed in this genre by experimental laboratory of educational lexicography at Pskov University, which have no analogues in the domestic phraseographic practice. The dictionary materials are based on the method of parametric lexicographic modeling. Special attention is paid to developing the etymological parameter by the method of parametric etymological paraphrasing. The method is based on the chosen model of etymologization depending in the method of phraseme formation. The linguodidactic potential of innovative lexicographic discourse is revealed by the descriptive method (techniques of systematization and interpretation). Fragments of dictionary entries illustrating the main provisions of the concept are given. The revealed possibilities and mechanisms of combining the parametres of educational and artistic discourse in the entries of phraseological dictionary for the junior school student are shown. The new models of etymologization, linguoculturological commenting and representating functional and pragmatic features of Russian phraseological units within the educational lexicographic discourse of the detective genre are presented. It is proved that the innovative lexicographic discourse organized in this way allows to effectively solve the problem of multidimensional educational representation of phraseology, and also supports the process of teaching schoolchildren genres of speech. The authors outline the possibilities of using the presented lexicographic technology of designing interactive educational dictionaries on paremiological and lexical material.
