Message 2: On Dictionaries and Definitions (1983)

Subject: On Dictionaries and Definitions (1983)

Dear Linguists!

I would be interested to learn whether the article by MacFarquhar and
Richards 'On Dictionaries and Definitions' (published in 1983 in RELC
Journal) has ever been reviewed. The only thing I was able to find was
a brief comment in Cowie (1999). I would like to make use of the
procedure that MacFarquhar and Richards followed in their study
(modifying its contents, though, by including more dictionary types
and tasks) that is why any feedback on that article is more than
welcome. Also, I would be very pleased to get to know lexicographers
(but also general linguists, or semanticists) interested in the
problems of defining meaning in dictionaries. I will post a summary
of what I have got received
