Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the theoretical and practical aspects of compiling a one-language thesaurus. The first part analyzes the history of thematic lexicography and its relationship with the alphabetic mode. The second part deals with definition of thesauri as lexicographical aids per se. In the final part, the author illustrates how a representative sample of the vocabulary of the Croatian language could be processed in the making of a conceptually organized thesaurus.
