Streszczenie:
The purpose of the paper is to discuss a few lexicographical principles in explanatory dictionaries. To this end, we investigated examples excerpted from three Romanian reference dictionaries, elaborated by the Lexicology and Lexicography Department of the Institute of Linguistics “Iorgu Iordan – Al. Rosetti” of Bucharest. We approached issues such as: the structure of definitions, the verbal nouns and the change of words morphological category. We highlighted the importance of using the electronic texts corpus and the dedicated sites. For each problem discussed, we also proposed solutions in order to simplify and modernize the lexicographic work and to increase the dictionaries reader’s benefits.
