This article examines metalinguistic reflexives – units used to describe and interpret the natural human linguistic code. It analyzes the semantic varieties of metareflexives (the external speech characteristics in native and foreign languages, its degree of intelligibility, importance, etc.), their structure and functioning in modern Macedonian texts, and methods of lexicographic representation. The “Dictionary of Macedonian Interjections and Onomatopoeia” database served as the material for the study.
