• Resumen

  • This paper addresses the following two questions: 1) how much can research on the interactions between the syntactic behaviour of verbs; and their lexical semantic properties be relevant from a lexicographic point of view?; 2) how far can the integration of lexicological research and lexicographic practise go in this respect? After pointing out some of the main difficulties that theoretical studies still confront, I discuss concrete problems that arise when valency-based models are adopted in the presentation of specific verb classes in Italian monolingual dictionaries. With the help of the analysis of these specific cases, I intend to draw conclusions that are valid from a general perspective.
