| Summary: | The article discusses the “Thematic dictionary of Arkhangelsk dialects”, which is a single-dialect, non-differential explanatory dictionary, and the digital platform that supports the printed materials of this dictionary. The Northern Russian dialects maintain archaic linguistic features, making them attractive for linguistic research. The “Thematic dictionary of Arkhangelsk dialects” contains unique linguistic material collected during dialectological expeditions in the Arkhangelsk Oblast. The distribution of material accord-ing to topics contributes, on the one hand, to more in-depth and detailed representation of lexemes and expressions, and, on the other hand, to systematic organization of individual aspects of the worldview of the speakers of the Northern Russian dialects. Within the grant project “Thematic dictionary of Arkhangelsk dialects with electronic support”, conducted by the Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov, the first three volumes of the dictionary have been published and an independent corpus of dialects has been developed and hosted on the university’s servers. The digital platform consists of desktop and mobile applications for the collection of dialect words, as well as a database and electronic dictionary accessible via a web interface, supplemented by an interactive lexical atlas. The developed lexical atlas provides a visual representation of geographical distribution of dialect words. The dialect material presented in the dictionary and on the platform will be useful both for specialists and for individuals interested in the culture and lifestyle of the Russian North. |
