About the series

Aims and Scope
The Dictionary is a book series related to the foundations of
lexicography and terminology. Each volume contains papers, short
monographs and other documents connected to one or more parts of the
following questions: i. What were, what are and what could be the
meanings of the term "dictionary"? ii. What were, what are and what
could be the different kinds of dictionary? iii. What were, what are and
what could be the goals of a dictionary? iv. What were, what are and
what could be the multiple methodologies to design and to compile a
dictionary? v. What was, what is and what could be the role of
dictionaries in the different kinds of cultures, societies and
economies? vi. How to teach lexicography and terminology in different
contexts, at different degrees, for different purposes? This series aims
to publish volumes which propose an open and continuous discussion about
the possible identities of dictionaries, directing the research
perspectives towards the future (what could be ...), not forgetting the
present (what is ...) and the past roots (what was ...): the frameworks
of knowledge are made up through plural histories, localized in
different cultural, social and economical backgrounds and developed in
relation to different needs, equally important and considerable. To be
published a work must be structured, correct, clear and well written.
Authors are encouraged to cooperate with other working scientists and
with people and organizations interested in developing, promoting and
benefiting the obtained results.
