[Lexicog] How to select words for a bilingual dictionary

[Wayne Leman]

Mery, I would try to practice corpus linguistics, using a computer to search
large corpuses of natural text (newspapers, conversations, etc.) then do
word counts (with the computer) to find the most commonly used words.

> Dear all,
> in my MA thesis on bilingual lexicography I am describing the ways in
which dictionary words can be selected. I know that it depends on the
variety of language treated in the dictionary. Imagine that you had to
select form your own language the words to treat in a big general language
bilingual dictionary and those for a pocket one, how would you do it?
