The main provisions of the concept of comparative vocabulary representation of East Slavic proverbs, developed by the lexicographers of St. Petersburg and Pskov universities are presented. The principles of macrostructuring of the “Big Russian-Ukrainian-Belarusian dictionary of proverbs are formulated”. The methods of parametrization of paremiological parallels and uniqueness are substantiated. The relevance of the study in the modern sociopolitical situation is determined by the need to strengthen the traditions of objective interpretation of the ethno-linguistic unity of the Eastern Slavs. The novelty of the research lies in the appeal to the paremiological material that has not been developed in a comparative lexicographic aspect and an innovative approach to its lexicography. It is proved that the value of the dictionary as an ethnolinguistic and linguoaxiological source will increase due to the combination of the thematic organization of the material, marking the similarities and differences in the presentation of paremiological parallels and combining the paremias under axiological headings. Particular attention is paid to the identification and vocabulary representation of complete interlingual paremiological equivalents, the establishment of the types of correspondences for partial equivalents, the description of their ethno-specific elements. The possibilities of implementing the comparative aspect are shown when using the format of the lexicographic representation of the axiological content of the paremias proposed by the authors. It is emphasized that the developed lexicographic concept will make it possible to present the East Slavic paremiological space in the unity and diversity of structural and semantic models, linguistic images, axiological vectors and will contribute to the improvement of the system of comparative paremiography.
