Summary/Abstract: This work will use selected examples for the analysis of technical terms and their lexicographic treatment in general Croatian monolingual dictionaries: what are the criteria and in what scope are technical terms chosen for general dictionaries, where is the dividing line between general lexis and the language for specific purposes, as well as when can, and when must terminological references be noted? To what extent are the dictionaries mutually uniform, and to what extent are the terms of specific fields treated systematically? Furthermore, this work will deal with the question of how lexical-semantic relations between terms are developed in the dictionaries; this refers primarily to hypernym-hyponym relations, antonymic relations and the criteria according to which one of the synonyms is given advantage over others. The work will analyze terms in the contemporary Croatian dictionaries.
