Abstract
Initially the term lexicographic definition is studied. The basic issues of the lexicographic definition are discussed with particular reference to the defining vocabulary. Defining vocabulary has been studied on a sample of some thirty lexical entries retrieved from British and American dictionaries and contrasted with the same for their counterparts in the Croatian monolingual dictionaries. On the basis of a computer-compiled corpus of definition texts, frequencies and lexical context have been determined for the most frequent words in the defining vocabulary.
