The "Big" Verbal Entries in Monolingual Dictionary (or how have the verbs ísť and chodiť been processed)

The paper deals with some problems of lexicographical processing of two Slovak verbs ísť, chodiť, in the second volume of a monolingual Dictionary of Contemporary Slovak Language. It deals with their grammatical characteristic (grammatical variants, verbal aspect), valency structure and semantic characteristic. The both verbs are polysemic and polyvalency, they have semantic symmetry in special means (ísť/chodiť do školy; hodiny na veži idú/chodia presne) and differ by semantic components of recurrence and multi-direction (determinative - indeterminative verbs), in other cases they are mutually asymmetric (e. g. chodiť s niekým ≠ ísť s niekým; chodník ide cez les - ^*chodník chodí cez les).
