Abstract

The phraseological array and the universal content of the phraseological zones of dictionary entries in “The Great Universal Dictionary of the Russian Language”, wherein phraseological units are repeatedly presented depending on the grammatically supporting component according to the alphabetical arrangement of a heading word, are of interest in the aspect of a research corpus for creating a vocabulary of an online Russian phraseological dictionary (VORPD). The purpose of the study is to determine the indicators of the representativeness of phraseological zones in the structure of the explanatory dictionary and present phrase-statistical models of the frequency ratio of heading words as a structural-semantic component of phraseological units in alphabetical order. The materials of the research make 2545 phraseological zones grouped according to the letters of the Russian alphabet. Combinations of the linguo-statistical method, the sampling method in the empirical study, and the methods of statistical modelling were used as a part of the research corpus. The scientific novelty of the research is determined by the conceptual approach to the “The Great Universal Dictionary of the Russian Language” - an explanatory paper dictionary - as a lexicographic corpus in the study of the usage (frequency) of phraseological zones in dictionary entries. The parameters of the representativeness of phraseological zones define the general linguistic set and the selective linguistic set as a working corpus. Phrase-statistical models are grouped according to the domain of definition - the set of all heading words fixed by one letter of the Russian alphabet. A consideration of phraseological zones is aimed at a detailed study of their quantitative characteristics and the percentage ratio of statistical sampling parameters. The technology of the study and the formula for calculating the indicators of phrase-statistical modelling are given. The results of the study are illustrated by diagrams and determine the objectivity of the research corpus, its nuclear and peripheral spaces. These factors will be a determinant for modelling the vocabulary of the pilot corpus of the electronic dictionary aimed at the semantic realization of phraseological units.
