The problem of lexicographic description of lexical and phraseological units of the semantic field “folk magic” (on the data of the dialects and mythological stories of the Perm krai)

In the article on the mythological stories and data of the dialect dictionaries of the Perm Krai the problems related to the lexicographical research of lexical and phraseological units, describing the magic-ritual tradition of the Krai, are regarded. The dictionary type (“A Demonological Dictionary of Perm Krai. Part I. Supernatural people”), article structure, selection technique and principle of unit interpretation are considered. The solution for the problem of differentiation of collocations and non-collocations is proposed. The additional data presented in the appendixes of the Dictionary are commented on.
