Abstract:

This book collects and introduces some of the best and most useful work
 in
practical lexicography. It has been designed as a resource for students
 and
scholars of lexicography and lexicology and to be an essential
 reference
for professional lexicographers. It focuses on central issues in the
 field
and covers topics hotly debated in lexicography circles. After a full
contextual introduction Thierry Fontenelle, divides the book into
 twelve
parts - theoretical perspectives, corpus design, lexicographical
 evidence,
word senses and polysemy, collocations and idioms, definitions,
 examples,
grammar and usage, bilingual lexicography, tools
and methods, semantic networks, and how dictionaries are used. The book
 is
fully referenced and indexed.

The reader may be used independently for reference or as reading
 material
for a course of study. It will also be an essential companion for
 <i>The
Oxford Guide to Practical Lexicography</i> by Sue Atkins and Michael
Rundell, to be published by Oxford University Press in 2008.
