The dictionary related with words has many information, for example, their lexical meaning, morphological information and syntactic information, etc. However, for the dictionary of existing information which relates with the inner structure of a word is not accurate and detailed. The inner structure of a word has very important morphological information such as a word's formation process, productivity of a word's constituent units, etc. None the less, representations of a words' inner structure in the dictionaries of existing are not correct and are optional as well. This study attempts to describe correctly the inner structure of syntactical words in the dictionaries. In Korean, the syntactic word's structures have three types such as a ‘X-ending-X’ type, a ‘X-X-ending’ type and a ‘X-ending’ type. They have two basis and a ending in common. In Korean dictionaries, these three types have the inner structure as follows; (1) ‘X-ending-X’ type → [ X - ending ][ X ], (2) ‘X-X-ending’ type → [[ X ] [ X ] ending ], or [ X ] [[ X ] ending ], (3) ‘X-ending’ type → [[ X ] ending ]. In these cases, [ ] is indicated a synchronic unit or synchronic relations between units, and - is indicated a diachronic unit or diachronic relations between units.
