The aim of this paper is to compare some characteristics of the
microstructure of four dictionaries of synonyms: Diccionario de sinónimos (Gili
Gaya, 1958), Diccionario de sinónimos y antónimos de la lengua española (López
García-Molins, 1986), Diccionario general de sinónimos y antónimos (Blecua,
1999), Diccionario de sinónimos y antónimos (Gredos, 2009). The technique
applied and the contents incorporated in the lexicographical articles present in the
dictionaries mentioned above will therefore be examined in a contrastive manner,
in order to highlight similarities and differences and to assess, in relation to the
pages analysed, the usefulness of the four lexicographical repertoires.
