In order to distinguish between different aspects of a lexical unit, we have used the following typographic conventions:

 A word or group of words is placed between dashes (/ /) when we speak of a semantic feature or sense of a word.

 A word or group of words is italicised when we refer to the signifier itself (e.g. song), meaning the notion itself rather than a particular occurrence, what Rudolf Carnap terms an autonym: a self-referential term evoked through citing it. Sometimes italics are used when a name has been created, so that typographic representation becomes subordinate to linguistic information, highlighting the meaning and determining a lexical unit (for instance, lexical engineering, lexical coexistence, etc.).

 The phrase sub voce frequently employed in lexicographic analysis means ‘under the word’. It refers to an article in a dictionary and is abbreviated s.v.
