Словообразовательная членимость и мотивированность слов русского языка в лексикографическом представлении
The discussion about the principles of the«Dictionaryof derivationalaffixes of the Russian language» by
V.V.Lopatin, I.S. Ulukhanovput a spotlight on thе critical and unsolved problems of Russian
lexicography.When discussing and criticizing particular decisions, it is important to have a clear
understanding of the theoretical principles on which the sharply opposite and contradictory interpretations
of motivation, derivational units and their semantics are based.The article reveals how debatable
inconsistencies and weaknesses of the lexicographic representation are directly related to the basic
concept («principle of sets» or «principle of pairing») and the preference for certain criteria.At the same
time, many complex transitional cases (double motivation, changes affecting morphemic boundaries)
cannot be sufficiently taken into account in any approach currently used.In case of incompatibility of
approaches, the removal of strict dichotomies and the necessary transparency can be ensured in the future
only with the help of computer lexicography.
