Abstract
Through the work of geographers in the Miroslav Krleža Institute of Lexicography, the only scientific institution of its kind in Croatia, we will present a specific aspect of the application of geography in contemporary Croatian society. Links between geography and lexicography have been long-lasting, stable and generally good, which can be seen in the continued employment of geographers at the Institute, a significant number of more or less “geographical” and cartographical projects, diversity of topics geographers-lexicographers deal with and the traditionally significant portion of geographical content in general and regional publications of the Institute. This relationship can sometimes be disrupted due to the underrepresentation of geographical content in regards to the content of other fields in some complex encyclopaedic entries and/or unfavourable structure of geographical content. Improvement should be sought in the encouragement of geographers to pursue topics which would make systematic and consistent lexicographical analysis easier and in constant implementation of contemporary geographical notions into lexicographical works using contemporary lexicographical approaches.
