[Corpora-List] Quotation (lexicography)

[Upali Kohomban]

That quote reminded me also of Adam Kilgarriff. A simple google search
yielded, a page from "The Lexicography of English  By Henri Béjoint" p 293

A word in dictionary 'can have as many senses as the lexicographer cares to
perceive'

which is from to a certain [Hanks 2002], page 159.
