Abstract
This paper examines the use of the term ʻcombining form’ in eight English monolingual online dictionaries. The definitions given for this compound as a headword are compared and analysed, and the lexical categorization of the examples cited in the definitions is also checked against their categorization as headwords. Thus the internal consistency of these dictionaries can be scrutinized, and the similarities and the differences in the treatment of certain bound morphemes that linguists normally classify as ʻcombining forms’ can be revealed in these dictionaries and even within the same dictionary family.
