FROM THE HISTORY OF THE LABEL “RAZG.” (COLLOQUIAL) IN THE RUSSIAN ACADEMIC EXPLANATORY LEXICOGRAPHY: once again about the problems of lexicographic stylistics

Based on the history of the label “razg.” (colloqial) in explanatory dictionaries, the article once again raises the problem of the conceptual and systematic development of functional, stylistic and expressive labels, which refers to the sphere of lexicographic stylistics. In the Russian lexicography this label was first introduced in 1916 in the 3rd edition of the Small Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language by P. E. Stoyan and became firmly established in the tradition due to its clear definition in the Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language edited by D. N. Ushakov in 1934. During the 20th century, the label “razg.” (colloqial) for a long time competed for stylistic independence with the label “prostorech.” (vernacular). At the present stage of the Russian lexicography development it can be argued that the studied label is the only one having a fairly definite status, it is uniformly understood by the authors of various explanatory dictionaries, which is due to the systematic study of spoken speech as an independent linguistic object (E. A. Zemskaya et al.) and its systematic lexicographic description in the Explanatory Dictionary of Russian Colloquial Speech edited by L. P. Krysin.
