Summary/Abstract: Multiword lexical units are situated on the border between the dictionary and the grammar. Their lexical character is confirmed by their semantic distinctiveness in relation to the meanings of their components. From the grammatical point of view, such combinations usually do not differ from regular syntactic constructions. Studies on their properties confirm that multiword lexical units require separate systematic research so that their description is as precise as that of lexemes. Dictionaries are the appropriate place to present it. The postulate of an explicit and precise description of multiword lexical units is implemented by the Grammatical Dictionary of Multiword Units presented in the article, which, in addition to paradigms in the form of tables, also directly provides other grammatical features of such units.
