> now you have probably read a welcome message from the listserver or
visited
> the list website to read about the list. Any member of the list is welcome
> to post a message at any time. This list is currently not moderated. That
> means that if you send a message to the list it will be posted immediately
> to the entire list.
>
> Many of us are actively involved in lexical research or dictionary
> production, and/or may have taught a lexicography class. Why don't you
> introduce yourself and tell what your interests and activities are in
> lexicography. In what languages have you researched the lexicon? If you
are
> helping produce a dictionary (or have already done so), what language was
it
> for?
>
> Feel free to post book announcements, either to the list or by uploading a
> file (to the Files section of our website) about a dictionary or other
book
> on lexicography that you have authored. (I have already uploaded Links to
a
> couple of books on lexicography which I have recently found helpful.) If
you
> have taught a course on lexicography, you would be welcome to post your
> course syllabus in the Files section of the website.
>
> Finally, may you each have a Happy New Year, whether your new year begins
> tomorrow or on a different day on another calendar. Let us know what
people
> in your mother tongue or a language you are studying say at New Year time.
>
> This is your list. Have fun making it an enjoyable place to share
> experiences and insights about lexicography.

> As for myself, I have been studying the Cheyenne language since 1971. I
have
> helped make three Cheyenne dictionaries:  a student dictionary, a topical
> (semantic domain) dictionary, and currently the Cheyenne dictionary team
is
> working on a larger dictionary on CD with sound files, illustrations, and
> 15,500 entries. I enjoy all aspects of lexical research, but am especially
> fond of discovering figurative uses of words.
