This paper analyzes existing approaches to the study of Arabic dialects, identifies shortcomings in the methodology of dialect analysis, and discusses directions for comparative research. It establishes the growing research interest in dialects, highlights the lack of systematic analysis of dialectal vocabulary in Arabic, and notes the interest in the phonetic and grammatical levels of analysis of specific dialects, as well as the lexical level in comparative studies. The authors propose an overview of existing digital solutions to describe and analyze Arabic dialects, highlighting the need to find new lexicographic formats and sources of dialectal material that can help capture the lexical composition and phonetic and grammatical characteristics of dialectal units. They also propose a new approach to organizing a dialectal dictionary and present a project for a multimedia dictionary of the Syrian dialect of Arabic.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Языковая ситуация в арабских странах характеризуется наличием нескольких вариантов арабского языка, находящихся в постоянном взаимодействии, что затрудняет установление лексического корпуса каждого диалекта. В работе анализируются существующие подходы к изучению арабских диалектов, выявляются недостатки в методологии анализа диалектов арабского языка, рассматриваются направления сопоставительных исследований. Установлен рост исследовательского интереса к диалектам, зафиксирована проблема отсутствия системности анализа диалектной лексики арабского языка, отмечен интерес к фонетическому и грамматическому уровням анализа конкретных диалектов и к лексическому уровню в сопоставительном изучении. Авторами предложен обзор существующих цифровых решений для описания и анализа диалектов арабского языка, отмечена необходимость в нахождении новых лексикографических форматов и источников диалектного материала, способствующих фиксации лексического состава и фонетических, грамматических характеристик диалектных единиц. Авторы предлагают новый подход к организации диалектного словаря и представляют проект мультимедийного словаря сирийского диалекта арабского языка.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>dialectology</kwd><kwd>Arabic language</kwd><kwd>dictionary</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>диалектология</kwd><kwd>арабский язык</kwd><kwd>словарь</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">публикация подготовлена в рамках грантовой поддержки научных проектов РУДН 050225-0-000 «Мультимодальный словарь специальной лексики»</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">the publication has been supported by the RUDN University Scientific Projects Grant System, project No 050225-0-000 “Multimedia dictionary of specialized vocabulary”</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source></award-group></funding-group></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Tuleubaeva, S.
