Lexicographic representation of the lexical item сапоги ‘boots’ in Dostoevsky's idioglossary

The article shows the possibility of a dictionary description of the lexical item сапоги ‘boots’, which functions in Dostoevsky’s texts as an idioglossa, i. e. the word that reflects the features of the author's idiostyle. We have briefly described the system of lexicographic parameters underlying the structure of the Dostoevsky Language Dictionary, as well as its basic part - Idioglossary, which includes the parataxis and hypotaxis of the described word, its use in the same context with the root words, symbolic use, the composition of the text associative field, etc. We also have determined and illustrated by examples from Dostoevsky’s texts the most relevant idioglossas and parameters for lexicographic representation of the word сапоги ‘boots’. The article draws conclusions about the possibilities of interpreting the obtained lexicographic data primarily in terms of the symbolic and emblematic functions of the described lexical item, and the corresponding text associative field.
