Abstract

 This paper examines the major challenges and methodological approaches in the lexicographic study of colloquial language. Colloquial expressions, including slang, idioms, and informal speech, represent dynamic and culturally embedded aspects of language that pose significant difficulties for lexicographers. The study analyzes issues such as rapid lexical change, semantic variability, cultural specificity, and representation in dictionaries. Furthermore, it explores modern approaches, including corpus-based methods, digital lexicography, and sociolinguistic frameworks. The findings emphasize the need for adaptive, inclusive, and technologically supported lexicographic practices to accurately document and interpret colloquial language.
