CONCORDANCE TO THE POEMS BY M. KUZMIN

The article deals with the lexicographic product “Concordance to the poems by Mikhail Kuzmin” in the light of the author’s lexicography theory. The article traces all the stages of creating a concordance. The task of creating a concordance dictionary for any set of texts is divided into subtasks: technical, performed automatically, and substantive, requiring the adoption of various textual and linguistic decisions and “manual” processing of the results issued by the machine. The principles of compiling a dictionary entry are analyzed, its information blocks are highlighted. Examples of different types of marks are given: stylistic, encyclope- dic, grammatical. The main functions of the product are determined. The features of the printed form of the presented dictionary-reference book include the inclusion in it in full of contexts with prepositions, particles and conjunctions, i.e. non-significant parts of speech, which are the most frequent; using a lemmatized vocabulary. Samples of dictionary entries are given. Concordance is supplied with an extensive application, in particular: a frequency dictionary; rhyming dictionary of Kuzmin’s poetry; metric handbook; poetry index. The fourth volume of the Concordance published poems that were not included in the main edition of Kuzmin’s poems. Concordance is used as a reference publication and serves the task of describing the features of poetic grammar of the early twentieth century.
