Summary/Abstract: The common lexis, which ensures the understanding and communication among speakers, and the specialized lexis which contains terms belonging to various terminologies classified according to professional, social criteria make up the general lexis of a language. Ordinary speakers use the terminologies specific to different specialized areas depending on communicative factors that select the type of discourse. Dictionaries, both general and specialized, identify and define specific concepts through definitions of varying degrees of specialization which turn out to be particularly useful for a synchronic and diachronic analysis.
