The article focuses on the retrieval of information on the basis of part-of-speech labeling. When studying the inclusion of individual words, senses and phraseological units in five British monolingual learners’ dictionaries (OALD8, LDOCE5, COBUILD5, CALD3, MED2), it was found that the dictionaries under investigation do not always agree on a PoS label or that lemmata are equipped with more than one PoS label. Special attention is paid to locating words, senses and phraseological units where it is essential to identify the correct part of speech of the word under which they are included and dealt with in monolingual learners’ dictionaries. Without a shadow of a doubt, the problem of PoS labeling has been partly resolved by the introduction of multiple PoS labels; consequently, the user no longer needs to identify each and every part of speech of the word in question. Another simplification of the microstructure regarding the inclusion of phraseological units is that all phraseological units with one common element belonging to different parts of speech are simply grouped together in one special idioms section without distinction between individual parts of speech.

Strict alphabetical ordering of lemmata in a dictionary may be interrupted by the nesting of derivatives as run-ons at the end of the entry for the lemma. This practice can also be found in most monolingual dictionaries. The focus of this article is, therefore, on the presentation of word-formations, or more precisely on adverbs. For the purpose of our research, a database was compiled consisting of all the adverbs regardless of their status that can be found in OALD8 in random stretches from the letters C and S. One hundred and twenty-eight adverbs included in OALD8 were then checked in LDOCE5, MED2, CALD3 and COBUILD5 to see whether the same adverbs are also dealt with in these dictionaries and to establish the similarities and differences in the treatment of these adverbs in all five dictionaries. As is evident from the results, less than half the adverbs are included as entries, the others being undefined run-ons. The latter are hidden within the microstructure and consequently more difficult to spot, which means that the dictionary user must either be trained in dictionary use or retrieve this information from the front matter of the dictionary s/he is using.
