Abstract
The present paper considers issues of integrating a digital multilingual dictionary (using the example of a German-Russian dictionary) with texts of a parallel corpus within the framework of a lexicographic information system that includes three components: (i) a digital multilingual dictionary; (ii) a corpus as a repository of parallel texts; and (iii) a database of annotated translation correspondences and two knowledge bases. The proposed approach to integration is a synthesis of a number of conceptual procedures, including application of the multilevel structuring principle of dictionary entries, formation of annotated translation correspondences for polysemous words and set phrases along with their translations, and providing links between the digital multilingual dictionary and the repository of parallel texts based on individual meanings of polysemous words and set phrases. Until now, such lexicographic information systems have been developed exclusively for monolingual dictionaries with connecting links by lemmas only. The aim of the paper is to describe the proposed approach to integrating a digital multilingual dictionary with texts of a parallel corpus as a theoretical basis for developing a lexicographic information system.
