Dahl and the Chinese «Kangxi Dictionary». The purpose of the analysis is to clarify the similarities and differences in the nature of the explanation of the meaning of words and to compile the structure of explanatory dictionaries in the Russian and Chinese lexicographic tradition. \u0000The study was conducted using a descriptive and comparative method, based on a comparative analysis of the structure and presentation of information in the dictionary entry of the dictionaries under study. \u0000The obtained conclusions allow us to note the similarities between the Russian and Chinese explanatory dictionary: 1) when explaining the meaning of a word, both dictionaries use the same (or similar) methods; 2) the structure of both dictionaries reflects the formal semantic connections between words; 3) both dictionaries \u0000in the process of interpreting words provide information of an ethnographic and linguocultural nature; 4) both Russian and Chinese explanatory dictionaries approach a dictionary of a combined type. The paper notes important differences in the structure of the alphabetic and hieroglyphic dictionary, in the nature of the dictionary information provided. \u0000The results of the research conducted in this article can be used in research and teaching activities related to the study of the lexicography of the Russian and Chinese languages.","PeriodicalId":211127,"journal":{"name":"Izvestia of Smolensk State University","volume":" 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138994719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The path along the Oka River was an organic continuation of the wellknown Volga and Don trade routes. In most of the works of researchers, for a number \u0000of reasons, it was not considered as a route that directly went to the upper reaches of the Dnieper River, capable of acting as a direct transport route between the south and southeast of the Russian Plain on the one hand and the archaeological complex \u0000of Gnezdovo and the outskirts of Smolensk - from another. The analysis carried out by the authors of the article offered to the attention of readers shows that by now researchers have data at their disposal that allow us to talk about finding weighty \u0000arguments in favor of the previously unpopular hypothesis. These data are obtained by archeology and numismatics. The presence and functioning of the route described above in the last centuries of the first millennium does not at all negate the significance of the well-known trade routes – the Volga-Baltic, as well as «from the Varangians to the Greeks» – but was, apparently, their logical and effective addition.","PeriodicalId":211127,"journal":{"name":"Izvestia of Smolensk State University","volume":"71 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138996224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
