The publishing of the Dictionary of 16th Century Literary Slovene is well underway. This paper analyses some methodological particularities of historical lexicography and principles for the establishing and the structuring of denotative meanings in multifaceted lexemes (with examples). Non-grammatical qualifiers point to different types of non-neutral use of a lexeme (connotative meaning), whereas non-grammatical qualifying explanations point to the nonlinguistic circumstances of use (i.e. the pragmatic meaning).
