Essay

The paper studies lexicographical entry of the English language learner's dictionary as a polycode communicative phenomenon, the essence of which consists in double encoding of lexicographical information by means of symbolic (language) and iconic (picture) codes. It suggests a new interpretation of a polycode entry as a tricrotic unity of a lemma (headword), a verbal definition and a picture. The research proves that the whole set of polycode dictionary entries denotes a certain view of the world, which is characterized by absolute anthropocentricity and ethnospecific (Anglo-Saxon) colouring.
