[Lexicog] a question about profession

[Justice, Alexander]

Hi Ken. Thanks for introducing yourself.
 
I'm also interested in lexicography due to my interest in Scottish
Gaelic, which has a history of lexicography, but not of reference books
generally. It has only recently stopped suffering government policies
designed to stamp it out, although they may have succeeded. The Scottish
government has now reversed those policies. 
 
In addition, I began to realize that as a reference librarian, I had
been taking contemporary lexicography for granted and knew very little
about it, even though there is a growing body of literature and a wide
array of computer applications involved.

	It looks like it might be opportune to let the list know yet
again what
	each one of us is about so people can understand what topics may
be of
	interest.
	
	I was editor-in-chief of the Hopi Dictionary (published in 1998)
and have
	continued to work on a digital version of that dictionary,
expanding and
	improving it. Now that dictionaries have entered the digital
age, there's
	no problem with dictionaries of minority languages being quite
expansive.
	
	Hopi is a Uto-Aztecan language spoken in northeastern Arizona.
	
	Lexicography contributes to my interest in comparative
Uto-Aztecan
	linguistics.
