Abstract

In the paper the authors accept definitions of idioms from the works of Antica Menac. They analyse the lexicographic treatment of idioms in a number of monolingual dictionaries (English, French, Italian, German etc.) based on different theoretical approaches and having different approaches to phraseology. They focus their attention on the position of idioms within the lexicographic article. By comparing examples from different dictionaries they show that lexicographers should prefer formal to "semantic" criteria.
