[Lexicog] Using old dictionaries

[Richard Gravina]

Thanks to everyone for their contributions.

Does anyone have positive experiences on how they built on the work of previous researchers? Any pitfalls to avoid?

As with other areas of linguistics, it is good to benefit from earlier work, though the earlier work can be expected to be flawed.

The context is working with minority languages.
