A proper understanding of the concept of addressing demands some theory specific prior knowledge. Accordingly it is, first of all, indicated how the constituents of article texts, specifically items and non-typographical microstructural indicators, are determined by means of a method of exhaustive functional-positional segmentation; and furthermore which features are displayed by hierarchical article constituent structures and their partial structures, the hierarchical microstructures, as ordering structures and how they can be presented by means of ordered tree diagrams. Then the relevant excerpts from a theory of inner textual condensation are presented, followed by a brief presentation of some basic concepts regarding the standardisation of dictionary articles. With that the important conditions have been given for the introduction of the concept of article internal addressing. Article internal addressing is a syntactic relation between article internal items. It replaces the natural language syntactic relations, not prevailing in condensed dictionary articles on the level of dictionary form because their omission is assumed in the process of internal textual condensation. The relation of addressing is distinguished from other relations, e.g. the item relation and the treatment relation. Then a typology of addressing relations as well as a typology of reference addresses are developed in order also to ensure an appropriate terminology. Finally the addressing structures are introduced as well as the hierarchical item structures that are available when the hierarchical microstructures are extended with regard to addressing structures. A brief treatment of a few aspects of mediostructural addressing is followed by a discussion of selected addressing problems in bilingual dictionaries. A distinction is made between unconditional, conditional and conditioning addressing, which specifically enables the solution of problems in the addressing of equivalent distinguishing items.
