Віртуальна лексикографічна лабораторія «Словник української мови» як інструмент семантичних досліджень

The article deals with the application of the theory of lexicographic systems as a methodology for organizing and conducting diverse studies of the language system. A tool for this purpose serves the Virtual lexicographic laboratory «Dictionary of Ukrainian Language» (VLL SUM). Examples of regularities of the lexical system of the Ukrainian language, established using the VLL SUM, are given. The semantic and instrumental structures of the electronic explanatory dictionary integrated with VLL SUM for the indepth study of the semantic structure of the Ukrainian adjective are proposed.
