Summary/Abstract: The relation of superordinates and hyponyms is a paradigmatic sense of relations which imposes a hierarchical structure upon the lexicon and upon particular fields within the lexicon. Several methods of lexicographic analyses of the superordinates and hyponyms are presented and illustrated on the zoonym lion with his superordinates and hyponyms analysed in English, German, French, Italian and Croatian general monolingual dictionary. Based on the analyses of these lexical entries a method of the superordinates and hyponyms presentation in the structure of the general monolingual dictionary is suggested.
