Summary/Abstract: The present paper explores how Serbian lexicographers use authority and concrete techniques to support their dictionary solutions for national lexicographic projects in the 19th, 20th, and 21st century. Our case study falls within the tradition of metalexicographic research, particularly how dictionaries and their sociocultural surroundings interact via various ideologies—that is, ideologies around the standard language variety and ideologies involved in dictionary making.
