On the creation of an explanatory dictionary of the Kalmyk heroic epos "Dzhangar"

The article is devoted to an overview of the stages of the implementation of practical and theoretical tasks in the preparation of the Explanatory Dictionary of the language of the Kalmyk heroic epos “Dzhangar”. The material of the TS was 28 texts of various records of the Kalmyk heroic epic “Dzhangar”. The vocabulary description of the language of the epic is based on certain principles relating both to the described object (epic vocabulary) and to the nature of the dictionary being developed (explanatory). In the course of work, the TextAnalyzer morphological analyzer was used, and the dictionary is created in the Tlex shell. In the TS, a descriptive way of interpreting lexical units, in some cases a descriptive-synonymous method, was taken as the basis. In compiling the interpretations, linguistic, ethnographic and folklore sources were used. The development of the TS provides new information on the lexical composition of the epic work, as well as information on how and to what extent the material and spiritual culture of the ancestors of modern Kalmyks was embodied in the language.
