Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to present aspects of some problems and solutions adopted in the drawing of the complex article vânt “wind” in the Dictionary of the Atmospheric Phenomena (Rom. logo DFA). The issues discussed are: defining the term, setting determinations and phrases, recovering the first attestations and etymologies. The definitions of the popular and scientific meanings of the term are made after analyzing several definitions of general and meteorological reference dictionaries. Observations regarding the syntagmatic behavior are extracted mainly from the thesaurus dictionary of the Romanian language and from the basic meteorological bibliography. The structures with vânt [wind] accompanied by determinations predominate at the popular level, while at the scientific level phrases that are well defined are dominant. The diachronic perspective of the project is evident in attempts to set etymology and the first attestations. În this paper are discussed the main issues that give complexity to the article vânt [wind] in DFA.
