In this paper I propose that in order to be systemic an explanatory dictionary should meet the following requirements: 1) to reflect the naive picture of the world inherent in the given language; 2) to describe lexical items in conjunction with grammatical rules within the framework of an integrated theory of language; 3) to use a unified metalanguage throughout the whole linguistic description; in particular, to reduce complex meanings, by gradually decomposing them, to the set of semantic primitives; 4) to present lexical items as members of lexicographic types; 5) to delineate their lexicographic portraits
