English calques and pseudo-anglicisms (Summary)

[Hugh M. Olmsted]

Dear Colleagues,

In his most recent communication, Heinrich Pfandl referred to the following
dictionary as a source for phraseological anglicisms: Belyanin/Butenko's
"Zhivaja rech'" (Moskva, 1994).

Here are some more such dictionaries, starting with a fuller citation to Zhivaia
rech':

As with previous bibliographical lists that I have posted from time to time,
these citations are drawn from a larger general databse of reference works for
Russian studies (currrently somewhat over 5700 records), being prepared for
publication and possible internet accessability.

As always, I will be grateful for comments and suggestions.

In the database, such dictionaries on slang and youth jargon are distinguished
from another somewhat similar category, considerably larger, listing
dictionaries of substandard and taboo styles.  These and other categories are
subsumed under the heading, "Dictionaries of Special Styles & Vocabularies."  I
will eventually be very interested in and grateful for comments on the
organization of these and other materials.  But so much for now...
