The article analyzes lexicographical interpretation of the conjunction brace только in dictionaries of different types, and describes the rationale to submit such information on this linguistic unit that would reflect modern usage of the particle-conjunction только in oral and written speech. The purpose of the article is by the example of the particle-conjunction только to attempt to represent a lexicographical "portrait" of the functional word. It is noted that the information about the functional word, which the reader of lexicographic editions has at the disposal, is either distributed among various dictionaries, or do not fully reflect the current state of the language, therefore, it causes some difficulties and inconveniences for the reader. The article also raises important questions of the description of the lexical meaning of the particle-conjunction, representation of the semantic structure of the polysemantic functional unit, which is referred to the problem of polysemy and homonymy differentiation.
