As the science of dictionaries, lexicography is no longer a job for amateur and occasional lexicographers; rather lexicography is an area of social practice and independent science of academic study, with its own theoretical foundations, adaptation to new discoveries, and relationships. This paper adds to the current stay of play regarding learner’s dictionaries (Fuertes-Olivera, 2009; Fuertes-Olivera & Arribas-Baño, 2008; Tarp, 2008), and presents the theoretical foundations needed for constructing cognitive-oriented specialised dictionaries for learners. In particular, it focuses on the concept of systematic-thematic introductions, an outer text component recommended to convey data that can nurture the cognitive needs of LSP users.
