Representation of Neoclassical Formants in Russian Language Dictionaries
Abstract
The topic of lexicographic representation of loanwords has always caused discussion. Even among genetically close Indo-European languages one might have realized ambiguous approaches towards mastering loanwords and their lexicographic registration. Classical languages - Latin and Greek - supply the mentioned above neoclassical formatives which provide for the universal derivational processes and make up nomenclatures. The elaboration of unified criteria to master loanwords is self-evident.
