Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the methodology and implications of the multilingual lexicography project undertaken by a small international group of linguists led by John Sinclair. The feasibility phase of the study included seven languages (English, German, Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Hungarian and Croatian) and was initiated with the aim of producing a sample of a multilingual dictionary on the basis of evidence drawn from the corpora of the respective languages. This and other similar studies are considered today as laying the foundation for a new methodology in multilingual corpus linguistics and lexicography.
