Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes lexicographical interpretation of the conjunction brace только in dictionaries of different types, and describes the rationale to submit such information on this linguistic unit that would reflect modern usage of the particle-conjunction только in oral and written speech. The purpose of the article is by the example of the particle-conjunction только to attempt to represent a lexicographical "portrait" of the functional word. It is noted that the information about the functional word, which the reader of lexicographic editions has at the disposal, is ei-ther distributed among various dictionaries, or do not fully reflect the current state of the lan-guage, therefore, it causes some difficulties and inconveniences for the reader. The article also raises important questions of the description of the lexical meaning of the particle-conjunction, representation of the semantic structure of the polysemantic functional unit, which is referred to the problem of polysemy and homonymy differentiation. It emphasizes that lexicographic de-scription of each functional word should consider several parameters and include a number of areas reflected in the dictionary entry describing the particle-conjunction within the integrative approach. The article describes those areas and parameters of a dictionary entry which deter-mines a functional word in accordance with the integrative approach and the current state of Russian Studies.
