Description
Lexicography is the study of the theory and methods of dictionary-making. This book provides a systematic survey of the subject - types of dictionary, how different kinds of information are dealt with when compiling dictionaries, how this information is presented to users, and how dictionaries are actually used. It refers throughout to both monolingual and bilingual dictionaries. The treatment of different types of information provided in dictionaries, such as spelling, pronunciation, inflection, examples and etymology, is described systematically in individual chapters. The book also discusses dictionary structure, illustrations, the collection and selection of material, law and ethics in lexicographic work, and dictionary criticism. As well as looking at print lexicography, Svensén discusses the role of the Web, electronic corpora, electronic dictionaries, and compilation software in the creation of dictionaries. This is an important and practical guide to contemporary lexicography, designed for lexicographers, language students and teachers, translators and academics.
