We present and analyse antiproverbs that we have included in the Dictionary of Proverbs and Similar Paremiological Expressions. The dictionary has been published on the Fran portal since 2020. An antiproverb is a special paremiological genre created by a parodistic intervention in the structure of a proverb. We describe the criteria we applied for the inclusion of established Slovene antiproverbs in the paremiological dictionary. First we analyse the structure and semantic features of the antiproverbs presented in the dictionary, and then show how these features are reflected in the following types of dictionary data: in explanations of meaning, presented fixed variants and authentic examples of usage. Furthermore, in the context of analysing the structure of antiproverbs, we determine which are specific to the Slovene language and which are rather widespread or at least present in more than one Slavic language (using the example of Slovak equivalents of Slovene antiproverbs).
