  • How specialised should a general dictionary be? [Elektronski vir]
    Vintar, Špela
    The article discusses theoretical and methodological issues related to specialised vocabulary in the Dictionary of Modern Slovene Language. We address key questions such as the role of terminology in ... a general dictionary, user requirements and needs, the complexity of distinction between general and specialised terms, and finally corpus composition and corpus representativity. We propose a model where lexical items are categorised into three levels of termhood, and each level of specialisation requires a different strategy of lexicographical description. By illustrating possible relations between the proposed categories and the corpus-based methodology of candidate extraction we establish a working methodology for handling specialised units in a general dictionary.
