El objetivo de esta investigación es presentar un modelo de microestructura para un diccionario de especialidad lexicográfica basado en el enfoque ofrecido por la Teoría funcional de la lexicografía. ...Para alcanzar la meta propuesta, en primer lugar, se propone una selección de datos lexicográficos y, segundo lugar, se presenta la estructura interna del artículo lexicográfico. Según la Teoría funcionad de la lexicografía, los diccionarios cumplen distintos tipos de funciones que dependen de varios factores: usuarios, situaciones extralexicográficas y necesidades lexicográficamente relevantes. Con esto, el diccionario planteado desarrolla dos funciones principalmente: comunicativa y cognitiva, es decir, auxilia en la producción y recepción de textos especializados en lexicografía y facilita la adquisición de conocimientos especializados en la materia. A su vez, la presencia de estas funciones determina, por un lado, los datos lexicográficos que se incluirán en la microestructura y, por otro lado, su presentación en la interfaz lexicográfica.
Most people think of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) as a distinctly British product. Begun in England 150 years ago, it took more than 60 years to complete and, when it was finally finished in ...1928, the British prime minister heralded it as a 'national treasure'. It maintained this image throughout the twentieth century, and in 2006 the English public voted it an 'Icon of England', alongside Marmite, Buckingham Palace and the bowler hat. However, this book shows that the dictionary is not as 'British' as we all thought. The linguist and lexicographer, Sarah Ogilvie, combines her insider knowledge and experience with impeccable research to show that the OED is in fact an international product in both its content and its making. She examines the policies and practices of the various editors, applies qualitative and quantitative analysis, and finds new OED archival materials in the form of letters, reports and proofs. She demonstrates that the OED, in its use of readers from all over the world and its coverage of World English, is in fact a global text.

Dass die Frage nach der Darstellung von Sprachwandel als Teilbereich von Sprachdynamik im Wörterbuch nicht nur hinsichtlich ihres Gegenstandes, des Sprachwandels, eine ‚inhaltliche', sondern mit ...Blick auf ihre lexikographische Präsentation gerade auch eine ‚Form'seite hat, liegt auf der Hand. Zugleich drängt sich schon bei einer nur oberflächlichen Betrachtung unterschiedlicher Darstellungsformate in verschiedenen Wörterbüchern auch der Eindruck einer deutlichen Varianz auf, die sich nicht allein aus ihrem Gegenstand, dem Sprachmaterial, erklären lässt. Der vorliegende Beitrag analysiert in einem ersten Schritt anhand ausgewählter Wörterbücher des 18. bis 21. Jahrhunderts, wie und mit welchen Darstellungsformaten (historische) Wörterbücher Sprachwandel aufnehmen. In einem zweiten Schritt werden die Ergebnisse wissenshistorisch perspektiviert und eingeordnet.
Problems in Lexicography is an essential, classic work of practical lexicography (the practice of writing dictionaries) and meta-lexicography. Originally published over sixty years ago, it was based ...on the proceedings of the Indiana University Conference on Lexicography, held November 11–12, 1960. It set a standard that still holds today, three generations later. This critical and historical edition, brilliantly researched and presented by Michael Adams, explores the enduring legacy of this classic work and promises to extend its life further into the twenty-first century. Problems in Lexicography: A Critical / Historical Edition amply demonstrates that this unique work is a book of historical significance and a worthy prologue to lexicography's present.

This is because this word is the heart of human ...life. And that it follows the evolution of history. The word “Freedom” proves that the dictionary is a democratic text, and a “land of freedom”.
Il est indéniable qu’« un dictionnaire c’est un univers par ordre alphabétique » (France) et que tout artisan du dictionnaire est irrésistiblement animé par un besoin apparemment contradictoire ...d’ordre et d’évasion. Il « va à la recherche du secret des mots, pour les libérer de leur prison. Il les dégèle, pour ouvrir leur sens et leur pouvoir » (Dotoli, 2006 : 6). Pour cette raison, le travail du lexicographe bascule sans arrêt entre libertés et contraintes à localiser pour éviter d’en être piégés.
