By the example of synonymy the author shows requirements, possibilities and limits of representing macrostructural semantic relations of the vocabulary in a universal monolingual dictionary. The basis of the investigation are 10 common German-language dictionaries; the examples are all synonyms of the words Weltall and Weltraum . After showing the problem and the latest state of scientific research the author proposes to refer consequently to synonyms in the dictionary. Such a theoreticallly based method would enable the user of the dictionary to discover the synonymic relations which are concealed by the alphabetically arranged entries.
