Principles of Compiling the Tatar-English Online Dictionary of the Glosbe Project at Macroand Microstructure Levels

Abstract

The study aims to determine features of compiling an electronic Tatar-English dictionary. The article examines peculiarities of presenting lexical material in online dictionaries. The study is conducted on the material of the Tatar-English online dictionary posted on the website www.glosbe.com. Scientific novelty of the work lies in identifying multimodal aspects of how a dictionary entry is arranged in the English-Tatar Glosbe dictionary. As a result, it was found that the Glosbe dictionary project is unique in the way it presents grammatical constructions and illustrative examples due to proper organisation of its macro- and microstructure and active interaction with the user base, members of which regularly contribute to the repository of illustrative examples.
