Îndrumări pentru folosirea dicționarului

Abstract

The article stems from the conclusion that in the first fascicle of the second edition of the Romanian Language Dictionary published in 2021, there is no chapter regarding any Guidelines for using dictionary, as it was the case in the first edition, as well as in other dictionaries published under the aegis of the Romanian Academy. To point out the importance and need of publishing such a chapter, there is a short history about the manner in which the indications and explanations referring to the structure of the dictionary items were worded and designated, as well as about the significance of conventional and special signs used in the four drafts of the Romanian Language Dictionary as well as in other dictionaries published by the Institute of Linguistics of Bucharest. Further on, the article presents in detail what the chapter about Guidelines for using dictionary from the new edition of the Romanian Language Dictionary should include, a chapter that must be published to make up for its absence.
