Abstract

One of the fastest growing areas of lexicography today is the field of educational lexicography. The distinguishing feature of educational dictionaries from other dictionaries is that they are directly related to education and have already become an integral part of the field of education. The main task of textbooks is to express language skills to students in a simpler, clearer and, of course, engaging way. The purpose of the article is to define the essence of the concept of lexicography, its place among other linguistic disciplines, to show its great potential in mastering a foreign language as a means of intercultural communication.
