"A short dictionary of linguistic terms" is compiled as a teaching and learning dictionary. The dictionary covers only the most commonly used terms of the disciplines of the general linguistic cycle .. Words - terms arranged in alphabetical order. Each term together with related material forms a dictionary article. Vocabulary articles are not only short definitions of linguistic terms, but also a fairly detailed interpretation of them with illustrations from proven sources. It is well known that the compilation of such dictionaries is a difficult and painstaking matter, therefore, in the proposed dictionary, some omissions are possible.
