On the Principles of Compiling Normative Dictionaries of Standard

The article discusses the basic principles of forming a glossary for orthological dictionaries, to which include spelling, orthoepic, grammatical dictionaries, as well as stress dictionaries and dictionaries of pronunciation difficulties. On the one hand, the glossary of such lexicographic sources should contain the maximum number of words that need an appropriate comment, on the other hand, a normative dictionary can include only those words that have received a status of a literary norm. There has been a tendency to include colloquial and jargon vocabulary in normative dictionaries in Russian lexicography. As a result, there has been formed an opinion about the normative use of these words in the standard language. However, this is completely unacceptable: since colloquial and slang vocabulary cannot be the object of codification from the point of view of the standard language. The article also discusses the issue of codification in orthoepic dictionaries of territorially determined variants characterizing the regional varieties of the Russian standard language.
