What is e-Lexicography : The Internet, Digital Initiatives and Lexicography about?

Covers the state-of-the-art in e-lexicography, looking at current topics, themes, issues and research in an increasingly important field. This book looks at current research and future directions in e-lexicography. Online dictionaries and reference tools are increasingly prevalent in a digitized and internet-led era in language study that has embraced computational linguistics. This book responds with theoretical and practical analysis of key topics, from a global range of contributors. Since COBUILD in the 1980s, lexicographers have found it essential to engage with and utilize electronic computational tools. Internet dictionaries, online reference tools and even search engine optimization demand a knowledge of electronic lexicography and force a reassessment of the field. This volume looks at, amongst other topics: polyfunctional versus monofunctional dictionary tools; developing theories of lexicography for electronic mediums; distinguishing between the database and the dictionary; and, online dictionaries not as data repositories but as sophisticated search engines. This volume will appeal to scholars in lexicography and to practicing lexicographers.
