The committee members listened to the information about development, publication, and use of the academic explanatory dictionary "Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language" in 20 volumes.

The committee decided to consider publication and use of the "Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language" as a priority in the celebration of the 25th anniversary of independence of Ukraine.

 

The committee recommends the Cabinet of Ministers to support development and use of printed and electronic copies of the "Dictionary of the Ukrainian Language" in the spheres of education, culture, science, law-making, law enforcement, public and private administration, information technologies, etc.

 

The committee also recommends the government to ratify the State Targeted Program of Development of the National Lexical Database.
