This paper is an examination of the dictionary from the standpoint of text grammer. The paper begins with a discussion of some issues raised by text grammer, e.g. the relationship between the form of the dictionary as text and the cognitive processes of users. The body of the paper focuses on the information structure of definitions (given-new ordering of senses), cohesion across senses, and the use of schema theory in predicting the interpretability and semantic integration of the dictionary as a text. The paper closes with a consideration of the cognitive processing of lexicographic text.
