Abstract
Bilingual and monolingual learner’s dictionaries provide information on the vocabulary a foreign language (FL) student should learn. Moreover, they specify grammatical information related to peculiar words, especially verbs. These dictionaries present, specifically, the syntactic contents in a more explicit way by means of construction indications and in a more implicit way by means of examples, or both. Starting from the English learner’s dictionaries, it is shown what lexicographical solutions the dictionaries analyzed in this paper adopt to transmit the syntactic information to the user. This description can be doubly useful: to teach the FL learner how to find syntactic information in dictionaries (something not everyone is able of) and to prepare new lexicographical works with more explicit indications.
