PRINCIPLES OF COMPILING AN ELEKTRONIC MULTILINGUAL TERMINOLOGICAL DICTIONARY

Abstract

The article discusses the issue of compiling an electronic multilingual terminological dictionary, as it is an urgent need today. The development of science and technology is swift and intensive, and new concepts and terms appear, so it is necessary to work on enriching and normalizing industry terminology systems. The electronic multilingual terminological dictionary is distinguished by a convenient and effective search system, systematic updating, authorization of access to information, and protection of the dictionary database against unauthorized use. In their research, the authors consider algorithms for developing and creating an electronic dictionary of terms. They note that a relevant selection of terms and a comprehensive disclosure of their meaning are crucial for such a dictionary. The authors found out that the dictionary's parameters depend on the methods of collecting material, users, and their needs, as well as on compilers who select information and interpret it accordingly. Requirements for an electronic multilingual dictionary, parameters, and principles of creation are considered. Compiling an electronic multilingual terminological dictionary is worth considering the fundamental principles of creating – addressing, and pragmatic conditioning. The article states that the successful organization of an electronic multilingual terminological dictionary requires compliance with many relevant conditions: successful organization of the macrostructure of the dictionary, constructive description of the linguistic material of the microstructure of the dictionary, and relevant and effective use of multimedia. Attention is focused on the fact that it is appropriate to ignore existing dictionaries, as it is necessary to use the acquired experience of generations rather than reinvent what is already known.
