| Summary: | At the present time, electronic lexicography and corpus linguistics are undergoing a period of fast development, and they are among the most illuminating areas of Applied Linguistics. However, there are no electronic dictionaries of the ' primeta ' (superstitions, omens and predictions) based on the Russian language. The analysis of existing traditional dictionaries and websites shows that these resources cannot satisfy the demands of the modern reader, and for a variety of reasons. The reasons include: the inconvenience and size of a print dictionary, and poor-quality commentary or explanation throughout all forms. There is clearly a great need to create a convenient electronic dictionary, wherein superstitions are linked with a culturological commentary. This is how the concept of the ' primeta ' electronic dictionary arose. Work is currently underway to make this concept become a reality. |
