The article examines the transformation of the lexicographic product at the turn of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. It analyses the transition from traditional printed dictionaries to a complex ecosystem of digital and electronic resources. The study identifies the principal types of contemporary dictionaries and describes fundamentally new functions and methodologies of their compilation, including corpus linguistics and algorithmic processing. Particular attention is paid to the impact of technological developments on user experience, specifically interactivity, hypertextuality, multimodality, and adaptability. It is argued that the modern dictionary has evolved from a static reference work into a dynamic analytical system integrated into everyday digital practices.
