Practical Lexicography combines a general introduction to the subject of lexicography with a systematic guide to lexicographical methods. It describes the treatment of definitions in monolingual dictionaries and equivalents in bilingual dictionaries. Its coverage also includes: the collection and selection of material; the treatment of pronunciation, inflexion, constructions, collocations, and idioms; the structure of entries and their arrangement in a dictionary; the planning, execution, and monitoring of dictionary projects; and the use of computers in lexicography. Numerous examples are included, and the use of illustrations and encyclopedic information is also covered.
A comprehensive account of dictionary-making, Practical Lexicography will appeal to language students and teachers; lexicographers, trainee lexicographers, and anyone involved in work on dictionaries and glossaries; those concerned with language standards; translators; and anyone interested in language and the use of dictionaries to the fullest extent.
