Abstract:

This volume provides concise, authoritative accounts of the approaches and
methodologies of modern lexicography and of the aims and qualities of its end
products. Leading scholars and professional lexicographers, from all over the
world and representing all the main traditions and perspectives, assess the
state of the art in every aspect of research and practice. The book is divided
into four parts, reflecting the main types of lexicography. Part I looks at
synchronic dictionaries - those for the general public, monolingual
dictionaries for second-language learners, and bilingual dictionaries. Part II
and III are devoted to the distinctive methodologies and concerns of
historical dictionaries and specialist dictionaries respectively, while
chapters in Part IV examine specific topics such as description and
prescription; the representation of pronunciation; and the practicalities of
dictionary production. The book ends with a chronology of major events in the
history of lexicography. It will be a valuable resource for students,
scholars, and practitioners in the field.
