Abstract

This article outlines the presence of abbreviations in general, specialized, monolingual, and bilingual dictionaries. Special emphasis is given to the macro-and microstructure of non-Slovenian dictionaries of abbreviation and the various solutions applied. Available sources for the users are described, the entries in such dictionaries are compared, and the need for a contemporary Slovenian dictionary of abbreviations is explained. The article concludes with guidelines for future development of the online dictionary Slovarček krajšav (Dictionary of Abbreviations).
