%X We propose in this paper a formalization of the BD¨¦f lexicographic definitions proposed by (Altman et Polgu¨¨re, 2003), in order to carry calculus on them. The information richness of such definitions suggest many calculus that are useful for lexicographic practice as well as for a more general reflection on modelling lexical semantics. Such calculus cannot be realized without a thorough formalization of such definitions that we propose to represent as typed feature structures (Carpenter, 1992). The formalization proposed allow to automatically check for the lexicon consistency, which suggest a new methodology for lexical description based on successive enrichment of the lexical database and the meta data that describe it.
