Abstract:

This is a state-of-the-art Guide to the fascinating world of the
lexicon and its description in various types of dictionaries. A team
of experts brings together a solid Introduction to Lexicography and
leads you through decision-making processes step-by-step to compile
and design dictionaries for general and specific purposes. The domains
of lexicography are outlined and its specific terminology is explained
in the Glossary. Each chapter provides ample suggestions for further
reading. Naturally, electronic dictionaries, corpus analysis, and
database management are central themes throughout the book. The book
also "introduces" questions about the many types of definition,
meaning, sense relations, and stylistics. And that is not all: those
afraid to embark on a dictionary adventure will find out all about the
pitfalls in the chapters on Design.
