Abstract

The issue of including encyclopedic information in the ideographic dictionary of social vocabulary is considered in the article. The relevance of the study is due to the active functioning of the vocabulary of the institutional sphere in the modern information environment. It is noted that modern explanatory dictionaries do not provide sufficient information about the nominations of realities from the political and social spheres. Thus, lexicographical sources do not include or fragmentarily include language units that fix the original (single) historical or cultural realities. It is argued that the absence of such nominations violates the systemic nature of the representation of lexical sets that represent fragments of social reality. It is noted that the ideographic description of social vocabulary in the dictionary by means of the method of ideographic reconstruction of nominative sets allows one to represent those language units (lexemes, phraseological units, non-idiomatic compound expressions) that call facts of reality important for a person, society or state. Such facts include, among other things, proper names, the fixation of which in the dictionary is interesting from the point of view of the linguistic-creative nomination of historical phenomena, events, personalities and is necessary for the full description of social vocabulary. It is noted that language units that call historical and cultural facts can be extracted from different idioms (literary language, dialects, jargon, urban vernacular), as well as from historical and modern dictionaries. It is concluded that the description of social vocabulary, differentiated from the point of view of stylistics and time of use, will create a more objective picture of the institutional interaction of people in different periods of history.
