En savoir plus sur le livre
English, the most widely used language globally, has a diverse dictionary market catering to users worldwide. This introduction to English lexicography adopts a linguistic perspective while emphasizing user needs, particularly for foreign learners. It begins by exploring what constitutes a "good" dictionary and familiarizes readers with various English dictionaries and their distinguishing features. Key topics include dictionary structure, types of information in mono- and bilingual dictionaries (such as English-German), and a range of specialized English dictionaries, including historical and learner's dictionaries, all illustrated with current editions of major works. The book incorporates relevant lexicographical terminology in manageable quantities across individual chapters. While much of the content applies to both print and electronic dictionaries, one chapter focuses specifically on the rapidly evolving field of electronic lexicography. Although the primary emphasis is on English dictionaries, the discussion also covers aspects of linguistic description pertinent to the English language and its representation in dictionaries, providing readers with insights into the language's many characteristics.
