This dictionary presents a wide range of contemporary general vocabulary, including neologisms from the late 20th century found in journalistic literature, as well as in newspapers and magazines, and rare word forms that tend to regenerate in modern artistic, historical, and legal literature. The colloquial vocabulary includes the generally recognized literary layer of the language and a certain volume of non-literary vocabulary that exists beyond the norms of standard literary language. The literary and book vocabulary reflects both general and specialized literary vocabulary, distinguished in the dictionary by corresponding historicisms, archaisms, poetisms, vulgarisms, and borrowings. The material contained in the dictionary will undoubtedly assist in understanding texts of various genres and serves as a valuable reference for translators.
