The greatest attention in this paper is paid to the compendium on Encyclopedia of Linguistics (Encyklopédia jazykovedy, 1993), edited by Prof. Jozef Mistrík (1921 – 1980). Thanks to the succesfull publication of the encyclopedia, J. Mistrík became, according to some opinions, the pioneers of Encyclopedistics of Linguistics in Slovakia. Currently, the publication might need new edition however, so far it has not beed planed. Some modernisation of the entries and presentation of current views of language is carried out of linguistic entries currently published in the individual volumes of the Encyclopedia Beliana.
