Given the new technological advances and their influence and imprint in the design and development of dictionaries and lexicographic resources, it seems important to put together a series of publications that address this new situation, dealing in particular with multilingual and electronic lexicography in an increasingly digital, multilingual and multicultural society. This is the main objective of this volume, which is structured in two central aspects. In the first of them the concept of multilingual lexicography is discussed in regard to the influence that the Internet and the application of digital technologies have exercised and continue to exercise both in the conception and design of dictionaries and new lexicographic application tools as well as the emergence of new types of users and forms of consultation. The role of the dictionary must necessarily be related to social development and changes. In the second thematic section, different dictionaries and resources that focus on a multilingual and electronic approach to the linguistic data for their lexicographical treatment and consultation are presented.
This volume showcases latest developments and innovations in teaching and learning materials in, about and for endangered languages, as well as discusses challenges in the production of such materials.
Cross-linguistic research is a fruitful field of language inquiry that has benefited enormously from the use of corpora. As sources of linguistic data of various kinds and as tools for language processing, corpora have shaped the development of cross-linguistic research, enabling both language description and practical applications. This volume contains twelve studies that emphasize the usefulness and usability of parallel corpora in accurately exploring the structure and use of seven under-researched languages and language varieties. The first part emphasizes the role of corpus-based descriptive analyses at the lexicogrammatical and discursive levels, as a first step on the way towards concrete applications like translation or language teaching. The second part focuses on the role of parallel-corpus-based language processing techniques and applications that facilitate professional communication. This book will be of interest to scholars in contrastive linguistics, translation studies, discourse analysis, language teaching, and natural language processing.
Die Lexikographie ist digital geworden: In der Herstellung von Wörterbüchern werden elektronische Verfahren zwar schon seit Langem eingesetzt, aber inzwischen ist auch das Ergebnis des lexikographischen Prozesses zumeist ein digitales Wörterbuch; insbesondere Online-Wörterbücher dominieren das Angebot. Diese Entwicklung wirkt sich auf alle Aspekte der Lexikographie aus: Bei der Wörterbucherstellung halten Automatisierungstechniken Einzug, neue Bearbeitungswerkzeuge erlauben den Lexikographen unterschiedliche Sichten auf das sprachliche Material, dynamische Präsentationsformate ermöglichen früher undenkbare, dem behandelten Gegenstand angemessene und auf das Benutzerinteresse abgesti...

Der valenztheoretischen Behandlung von Argumentstrukturen stehen seit längerer Zeit konstruktionsgrammatische Theorien gegenüber, die die syntaktisch-semantischen Konstruktionen selbst als primäre Objekte der Sprachbeschreibung sehen, welche dann spezifische Lexeme als lexikalische Füllungen selegieren. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes zeigen, dass sich die beiden Ansätze nicht ausschließen müssen, sondern sich bei der theoretischen Modellierung der regelhaften und idiosynkratischen Aspekte von Argumentstrukturen auf fruchtbare Weise ergänzen können. Neben rein theoretisch orientierten Studien enthält der Band Beiträge, deren Gegenstand die Evaluierung von Methoden zur empirischen Fund...
Until now, there has been very little research into the use of online dictionaries. In contrast, the market for online dictionaries is increasing both for academic lexicography and for commercial lexicography, with sales figures for printed reference works in continual decline. This has led to a demand for reliable empirical information on how online dictionaries are actually being used and how they could be made more user-friendly. The volume Using Online Dictionaries makes a substantial contribution to closing this research gap. It is divided into four parts: The first part contains articles on fundamental issues: a research review of the empirical studies on digital dictionaries which hav...

Who compiles dictionaries and other reference works? Which are used by whom? How do they achieve their purpose? Lexicography is a very important subject and the product of lexicography, the Dictionary, is a valuable resource in language learning. Teaching and Researching Lexicography explains the relations between lexicographic practice (dictionary-making) and theory (dictionary research), with special reference to the perspectives of: * dictionary history * dictionary criticism * dictionary typology * dictionary structure * dictionary use The final section of the book contains a variety of useful resources, including relevant related websites, a glossary of terms and a bibliography of cited dictionaries. This section can also be found on the Teaching and Researching Lexicography companion web-site. Written in a highly accessible style, Teaching and Researching Lexicography provides the most comprehensive, up-to-date and international coverage of this field in English, and will be of great interest to lexicographers, language teachers and applied linguists.
Professional and academic lexicographers present and discuss innovations, ideas, and developments in all aspects of electronic lexicography including dictionary-writing systems and the integration of corpora for every kind of dictionary in every format.
