Dictionaries of terms, which take their focus points from researchers, learners, and translators, are reference guides that provide information about a specific area for dictionary users. Within these, dictionaries of linguistics and dictionaries of grammatical terms have a place in special importance for who do scientific work in these fields.In the beginning Turkish dictionaries of terms, which are the primary aims to find the Turkish.Turkish equivalents of the foreign words, showed development and diversity in terms of lexicography in progress of time. However, this diversity has brought the problem of standardization on the other hand. In this paper five major printed, which published in the last 20 years, dictionaries of Turkish grammar and linguistics terms was examined comparatively in point of microstructure of mood and modality terms for drawing attention to definition and standardization problems. At the same time headwords (in other words records),information of etymology, usage labels and definitions, which are the elements of microstructure, were analyzed and discussed this question: how should be an ideal example of microstructure in a dictionary of grammar and linguistics terms? Finally some suggestions about the topic of the paper are offered. The purpose of this study, as a result of the analysis of the data obtained from the corpus, is to make a contribution to Turkish lexicography literature about dictionaries of terms and to express some expectations of dictionary users from dictionaries of terms.
