Summary/Abstract: The article deals with noun valency and its processing in the Contemporary Dictionary of Slovak Language (2006, 2011, 2015). Based on the data from the prepared fourth volume, it presents the rules and lexicographic conventions of processing noun valency within the grammatical apparatus of nominal units. It also describes lexicalization processes yielding deverbal nouns, which are no more treated as grammatical forms within the verbal paradigm, but represent separate lexicographic units processed in the dictionary as independent heads. The indicators of these lexicalization processes are presented too, including specific types of valency modifications that the nouns undergo, as compared with valency frames of their motivating units. In the final part of the study the most frequent valency complementations of nouns are described, on the basis of dictionary data and source corpus Omnia Slovaca III Maior.
