Abstract The application of corpora as a new method to dictionary making is now generally approved. The technical innovation brings to dictionary making theory and practice challenges as well as new space. The chief challenge is how to comb through the senses and definitions of the contextualized polysemes quickly and efficiently. This challenge can be met with the help of systemic linguistics for it sets as its main task the function and linguistic system of language in use and studies all the systems within language. Our practice in dictionary making suggests that the study of transitivity system by systemic linguists can help dictionary makers handle sense discrimination and defining process: concretization abstraction concretization.
