TEACHING LEXICOGRAPHY IN AZERBAIJANI LANGUAGE LESSONS

Abstract. Lexicography deals with both the practice and theory of compiling dictionaries. In dictionaries, various words are arranged and interpreted in a certain order. Dictionaries are compiled in both diachronic and synchronous aspects. In linguistic dictionaries, the existing materials of the language are explained from various aspects depending on the purpose of the dictionary. With the help of dictionaries, it is possible to analyze the ancient and modern forms and meanings of words, and to clarify their use in different historical periods. During the years of independence, rapid development in lexicography by improving national lexicographic traditions attracts attention. Today, lexicography is experiencing a new era, a stage. In recent times, changes have occurred in the compilation of dictionaries due to the emergence of the global Internet. One of the main development directions of modern lexicography is the computerization and electronization of dictionaries. The creation of electronic dictionaries intended for Internet users is a new stage in the development of lexicography. Today, the number of electronic dictionaries that have aroused the interest of modern linguistics is constantly increasing. It is possible to find information in various electronic dictionaries based on existing search systems. Improving the quality of dictionaries is one of the most important tasks facing Azerbaijani linguistics today.
