Abstract
The objective of the article is to analyze dictionary entries on connective words from the viewpoint
of a text. A dictionary entry, according to the communicative classification of G. A. Zolotova, is a reproductive compositive. On the basis of this, the dictionary entries in the «Dictionary of Adverbs and Connective words of the Russian Language» correspond to the definition of a minimal reproductive compositive, and the dictionary entries in the «Dictionary of Word Equivalents: Adverbial, Syncategorematic, Modal Unities» should be defined as an extensive reproductive compositive.
