Abstract

Being one of the most complex parts of speech, the verb requires a comprehensive approach in the lexicographic description in different subtypes of dictionaries. An appropriate verb dictionary that offers various ways of semantization helps better understand of the meaning of a verb by a student. This article discusses the requirements for an electronic verbal dictionary as a component of the Russian language teaching system for foreign students. At the moment, there is no resource in which all verb minimums for different stages of mastering the Russian language could be brought into a single system. This gap can be filled by an electronic verbal dictionary with searching functionality allowing (1) to show verbs in structural, semantic and functional aspects; (2) to present verbal units as constituent elements of the language system; (3) to utilize both the information and training potential of electronic educational resources on one platform. In solving these problems, the article discusses the general concept of such a dictionary and particular issues of its implementation (the structure of the dictionary, the content and structure of the dictionary entry, a set of relationships between verbs, etc.).
