Concepts Friendship and Friend in the Lexicographic Paradigm: a Paroemiological Dictionary Project

The article presents a draft of a paroemiological dictionary exemplified by the concepts of friendship and friend in the Russian language. These concepts are universal and are reflected in the paroemiology of different languages. In Russian proverbs and sayings, they create a powerful axiological energy and generate numerous variants and synonyms. The article substantiates the relevance of the paroemiological dictionary. Most currently available dictionaries focus on the corresponding lexemes. However, folklore linguistic units are much more diverse and semantically multifaceted. In the explanatory dictionaries of the Russian language, proverbs with the corresponding components are scarce, their sole purpose being to illustrate the lexemes of friend and friendship. The proposed project is intended to fill this gap in the Russian lexicography. The new dictionary is a result of a comprehensive processing of this abundant material. It classifies the lexicographic characteristics according to a single principle, i.e., based on the semantic core of the concepts friend and friendship. The article describes the structure, composition, and other lexicographic parameters of the dictionary.
