This dictionary of modern Russian contains 12,000 entries with complete inflectional information and extensive definitions for each word. Unlike many electronic dictionaries, it is not an abridged version of a printed dictionary. Because it was designed to take advantage of the electronic medium, the definitions are more detailed than the printed medium would allow, and extensive examples and notes on style and usage are included.
A complete display of all inflected forms is part of every entry. Morphological information is also presented in traditional linguistic notation, thus making it a learning tool for the student who will associate the inflectional pattern with the word's morphological class. Where necessary, the entries present irregular pronunciation, inserted vowels, animacy, marginal case forms (Locative and Partitive), and other information.
An entry can be found by typing in a Russian word, or by typing the first several letters of a Russian word. A list of matches is displayed along with definitions. Click on your choice to see the full entry. Similarly, you may type an English word to see all of the Russian entries for which the English word is a possible translation.
If you type an inflected form of a word as a target for a search, the program retrieves all entries that match your target. For example, if you type poshli, the entries for both poiti and poslat' will be retrieved and displayed.
The dictionary can be opened in a window alongside your word processor for reference as you work.
The Russian Dictionary Tree is a greatly expanded version of 5000 Russian Words (Slavica Publishers, 1987).
