0. This paper comes down to a presentation of and a brief explanatory comment on the nine propositions which follow. For dictionaries to be user-oriented, i.e. to be designed as tools for specific users, seem to be fairly self-evident. Yet it is striking that in the paper of Berkov (in this volume) on lexicographical principles mention is made of such concepts as max imum of information and minimum amount of space without bringing into the dis cussion as well the impact such principles may have on the user. Consequently, it could be worthwhile to explain, to make explicit, the underlying implications of such a — at first sight — obvious statement.
