Abstract

This paper with metalexicography approach is based on “Prototype Model”, conducted in descriptive-analytic method. The data were collected from the microstructures of 5 important Persian monolingual dictionaries including Dehkhoda’s, Moin’s, Amid’s, Anvari’s and Sadri Afshar’s dictionaries. On the whole 100 entries were selected from BIRD, TOOL, FURNITURE, FRUIT and VEHICLES’S categories. The same entries were also analysed in “Cobuild English Learner’s Dictionary” (1987) so as to make possible the comparison with one universal and standard dictionary. The results of data analysis show that the microstructures of Persian dictionaries are not based on linguistic theory. As a result, the authors suggest the pattern which makes possible the compilation and editing the microstructures of Persian monolingual dictionaries based on “Prototype Model”.
