The independence of the Republic of Tajikistan has created a real and possible basis for the development of national values and moral traditions. In this process, all favorable conditions have been created for the formation and further development of the Tajik language as the state language and its literary norms. Having overcome all the limitations and obstacles to the formation of the language, he directed it to a new path of development.

The Tajik nation is aware of that all the treasures of our literature and culture are perpetuated by the language and recognized in the world by the language. Due to efforts of great figures of sciences and literature, the Tajik language has formed and changed as well as preserved the oldest and authentic historical and national elements from the depths of centuries and this treasure has been inherited up to present day.

The Founder of the peace and national unity, the Leader of the nation, the respected Emomali Rahmon, rightly declares: "The living Tajik Persian Dari language is a historical continuation of the same language in which "Avasto" is written, the same language in which "Khudoinomak" and "Ta’rikhi mulki Ajam"is written, the same language that to its developement in the Islamic era "Shahnoma" and "Masnavi manavi" is written, the same language that in Soviet society somehow saved itself from the cultural crisis and reached to the political and cultural independence, even it could write continuation  the fate of its owner with the pen of Aini, Tursunzada and Gafurov."

These words indicate that the Tajik language has great ability for word and and terminology formation. Every day thousands of new terms and phenomena enter the sphere of society's life, and there is a serious need for their adoption and systematic construction.

Research, development and regulation of this process, which is very important for demonstrating the strength and power of the national language and relates to various stages of the history of the more than a thousand-year-old new era of the Tajik language, since it is based on the branch of dictionary studies and the scientific study of dictionaries.

All these factors indicate that for the development of the Tajik language, it is important to research important issues of modern lexicography on the basis of translative and explanatory dictionaries. In the process of this research, it is necessary to develop, systematize and publish translative and explanatory dictionaries. These dictionaries will regulate the use of concepts and terms and will serve as an important resource for finding words, as well as for explaining new phenomena. Along with this, these dictionaries will be used as a norm and a correct example of oral and written speech.

The novelty of the project:

This research is actual and innovative in the sense that explanatory and translative  dictionaries are rarely researched from the point of word formative and term formation.

It should be noted that it is important to study and concretize the various features of words and terms of different fields used in translative and explanatory dictionaries.

Keywords: term formation, lexicography, translation dictionaries, bilingual dictionaries, explanatory dictionaries, manuscript, development of the Tajik language, stages of the literary language.

 Information about the project

During almost 60 years of operation of the Department of Folklore, many works of collection, arrangement of materials and scientific researches in the field of folklore have been carried out. Many genres and issues of Tajik folklore have been researched and discussed in terms of theory, poetics and structuralism, and their results have been published in the form of books. However, most of the materials in the form of manuscripts and voice recordings are still preserved in the archives of the Institute.

According to the schedule, every year 6 volumes of this collection will be prepared and published depending on the genres. Thus, within 5 years of the project, 30 volumes of "Collection of Tajik Folklore" were compiled and published.

According to the project, folklore expeditions will also be organized to collect and record additional materials. Because there are still many folklore connoisseurs in the villages and especially in the mountains, and the professional task of every folklorist is to record them as soon as possible with high quality.

The results of the project will be very significant and exhausting. The published collections will be widely used for the preparation of candidate and doctoral theses, in the preparation of textbooks for students of higher schools and reports in scientific seminars and conferences.
