Dozen Headaches for Lexicographers<span style="color:red"></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center" align="center"><span
style="font-size:14.0pt;color:red"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Lexicography
is often
reducible to cycling units of information, especially words.<span>
</span>It is usually done, especially in what is
often called commercial lexicography, with an eye on the
clock.<span> </span>Budgets for dictionary projects are
usually
quite restricting.<span> </span>One consequence of
such confinement is the headache of complying with
production schedules, often
imposed by a publisher.<span> </span>This brief
presentation will focus on what such headaches entail and
whether or not there
is a suitable cure:<span> </span>(1) One of the most
important challenges for present-day dictionary editors is
the large numbers
which accompany collections of evidence.<span>
</span>(2) “Where do all the new words come from?”<span> </span>(3)
Print, electronic, and Web-based, each
have attractors and detractors—what to do?<span>
</span>(4) “Doomed-ness” of unabridged dictionaries—reality
or dreaming.<span> </span>These four problem areas are of
interest but
probably not of overwhelming importance to teachers and
students.<span> </span><i>Their
headaches include</i>: (5) Why is it here and not there?<span>
</span>(6) Why is it neither here nor there?<span> </span>(7)
How do I get my students to read the
“blankity-blank” front matter?<span> </span>These
half-dozen or so issues and more will be discussed; there’s
room for your
headaches, too.</span></p>
