Abstract

The article analyzes one of the central problems of lexicography - the issue of determining the diachronic and synchronic boundaries of vocabulary. It shows the principles of determining the lower and upper chronological boundaries of vocabulary on the example of large dictionaries of the English language. It also reveals the specific features of historical and explanatory dictionaries and the theoretical and practical differences in their chronological coverage.
