    In order to appreciate the significance of the ToAKo6bli CIZO6apb pyCCKOzo J13blKa, we must begin by reviewing the historical development of the 'Oiegov' dictionary.

It was the first, abridged, one-volume Russian dictionary intended for the mass audience of educated Russians and foreign users of the Russian language.

    Morton BensonARTICLETESOL Quarterly1989

    Until recently, British English (BE) was considered the sole model for learners of English in most countries of the world, including those in Eastern Europe. In the spring of 1976, when my English-SerboCroatian Dictionary was being readied for publication in Yugoslavia, many feared that it would be rejected by Yugoslav teachers and learners, since it gave priority to American English (AE). The English Language Officer of the American Embassy in B…

  • A Collocational Dictionary of Russian

    Morton BensonARTICLEThe Slavic and East European…1989

    Advanced learners of Russian, like learners of any language, need a collocational dictionary that will help them encode (i.e., generate) grammatically correct sentences. While collocational dictionaries of Russian do exist, they are woefully inadequate. The purpose of this paper is to describe an adequate collocational dictionary for learners of Russian. Such a collocational dictionary would be not only an invaluable aid to the student and teache…

When two groups of English teachers, one from Hungary and one from the Soviet Union, came to the University of Pennsylvania campus in the summer of 1987 to participate in programs on TESOL methods and American English, an opportunity pres…

  • Lexical combinability

    Open AccessMorton BensonARTICLEPaper in Linguistics1985

    Of the various types of lexical combinations, collocations have been the most difficult for the lexicographer to identify and treat in the dictionary. Future dictionaries of English will be improved if they systematically enter key lexical collocations. Noun entries, for example, should include the most important verb plus noun combinations. Thus, the entry for embargo should show the collocation impose an embargo. Entries for polysemous nouns sh…

  • Problems of Serbo-Croatian Lexicography

    Morton BensonARTICLECanadian Slavonic Papers1978

    AbstractLes lexicographes yougoslaves ont fourni des travaux importants décrivant la langue serbo-croate. Néanmoins, il faut constater l’existence de graves problèmes quant à la description lexicographique du serbo-croate contemporain. On peut attribuer ces problèmes aux facteurs suivants: la nouveauté de la langue standard — ce standard n’existe qui depuis quatre-vingts ans; le chauvinisme — les conflits entre Serbes et Croates on freiné la comp…

  • The Spelling of Past Passive Participles in Russian

    Morton BensonARTICLEThe Slavic and East European…1973

    One of the most vexing problems in Russian orthography is the spelling of past passive participles and adjectives derived therefrom with one n or with a double n.1 During the lively discussion of spelling reform which took place a decade ago in the Soviet Union, many participants suggested that the complicated spelling rules be simplified.2 Since, however, no simplification has taken place, it appears necessary to attempt a formulation of spellin…
