*A Dozen Headaches for Lexicographers*

Lexicography is often reducible to cycling units of information, 
especially words.It is usually done, especially in what is often called 
commercial lexicography, with an eye on the clock.Budgets for dictionary 
projects are usually quite restricting.One consequence of such 
confinement is the headache of complying with production schedules, 
often imposed by a publisher.This brief presentation will focus on what 
such headaches entail and whether or not there is a suitable cure:(1) 
One of the most important challenges for present-day dictionary editors 
is the large numbers which accompany collections of evidence.(2) “Where 
do all the new words come from?”(3) Print, electronic, and Web-based, 
each have attractors and detractors—what to do?(4) “Doomed-ness” of 
unabridged dictionaries—reality or dreaming.These four problem areas are 
of interest but probably not of overwhelming importance to teachers and 
students./Their headaches include/: (5) Why is it here and not there?(6) 
Why is it neither here nor there?(7) How do I get my students to read 
the “blankity-blank” front matter?These half-dozen or so issues and more 
will be discussed; there’s room for your headaches, too.
