Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to research the ways of structuring the general dictionaries of Montenegrin dialects, starting from the selection of materials, i. e. determinants, to giving examples at the end of each dictionary article, as well as to, indirectly, examine the degree to which about thirty analyzed dictionaries can define the development of Montenegrin dialect lexicography. The author has identified diversity not only in the application of the lexicographic procedure but also in the organization of the macro and micro structure of the dictionary, which is, mainly, the result of unequal expertise and training of the authors themselves, who are more often amateurs than linguists. It has been concluded that individual dictionaries, in terms of quantity and type of data, exceed the limits of a general type dictionary, that most of them meet the requirements of lexicographic work to an unequal extent, while there are also rare ones that barely meet the dictionary minimum and represent mere collections of words.
