Linguocultural dictionary, spiritual vocabulary, religious terminology, semantic equivalence, dictionary microstructure.Abstract
This article examines the challenges and methodological issues associated with representing lexical units which express personal spirituality through linguistic elements in linguocultural dictionaries. The study analyzes the theoretical foundations of linguocultural lexicography and identifies key problems in documenting spiritual vocabulary. The problems include difficulties to define spiritual concepts which different cultures understand and to create equivalent spiritual terms between various linguistic traditions and to properly display the personal experiential aspect of spiritual language.
