The article reflects on linguistic issues concerning the preparation of text for a new Slovene-foreign language dictionary. Discussion is based on specific examples from the reversed database of the Oxford-DZS Comprehensive English-Slovene Dictionary and lexico-grammatical data from a corpus-based Slovene lexical database in the making. The key question is how to proceed with the compilation of a new, bilingual, dictionary database, using both sources but avoiding a distorted lexical analysis of Slovene in use, while also ensuring a thorough contrastive analysis of the relationships between the two languages.
