Abstract
The article discusses the issues of codification of place names that have not previously been recorded in Russian dictionaries or have accumulated variants in the process of use. The aim of the study was to develop a theoretical basis for solving current problems of constructing a toponymic system taking into account the lexicographic practice that unites the dictionaries of the National Dictionary Fund. The material for the analysis was 11,436 place names extracted from special dictionaries, the Great Russian Encyclopedia, the international GeoNames database, Roskadastr, and geographical maps. To solve the tasks, the author used comparative and corpus analysis of place names and their variants, as well as methods of systematization and generalization. The result of the study was the development of recommendations regarding new and previously unsolved problems related to the codification of place names.
