Abstract
Aim. To elaborate recommendations for describing a microsystem of polysemous verbs expressing a syncretic meaning of ‘moving / staying within a limited area’ (tolkat’sya, toloch’sya, tolpit’sya, tesnit’sya) in the Great Academic Dictionary of the Russian Language.
Methodology. The article contains a research on the interpretation of this verb microsystem in all the main Russian definition dictionaries. Based on a lexicographic analysis with the involvement of corpus data, its lexical and semantic specifics are uncovered.
Results. A conclusion is made that the semantic structures of these verbs are isomorphic to each other. The optimal ways are established to describe them in an definition of the great type.
Research implications. The research results help systematize the description of the studied verbs in the Great Academic Dictionary of the Russian Language, which is now being issued. The article contributes to the discussion around the discrete lexicographic interpretation of syncretic semantic structures.
