Just over a decade ago, a number of papers (notably Rundell & Kilgarriff 2011) reviewed developments in the application of language technologies to the compilation of dictionaries. They showed how the dictionary-making process had been to some degree automated, and they speculated on the prospects for further advances along the road towards full automation. Ten years on, it is time to assess...

There is a growing influence of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) around the world as a generic descriptive tool for foreign language proficiency. Asian regions are no exception. Countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, among others have used the CEFR as a guideline for their foreign language policy making. China developed their original framework...

This research is situated at the intersection between lexicography, neology and the analysis of feminist discourse and is based on the following research questions: how have feminist studies contributed to lexical innovation in Spanish? what lexicographic treatment is the lexicon of feminist discourse receiving? and what are the criteria to prioritize the dictionarization of these...

With the intensification of ageing in the world population, the attention to older adults has dramatically increased. Compared with numerous studies of ageing identity in newspapers, novels and social media, there is little focus on dictionaries. How is the image of older adults constructed in dictionaries, specifically in the Contemporary Chinese Dictionary (7th edition, CCD7)? Is bias...

The idea of LexTeach (Let Us Teach, or Lexicographers Teach) was first introduced in 2019 ASIALEX Istanbul and it referred to dictionary literacy workshops and lectures which aim at promoting English lexicography, particularly the use of EFL dictionaries, on a regular basis. With the support of ASIALEX, LexTeach was first trialled via zoom along with the 2022 ASIALEX conference, offering two...

Electronic dictionaries have replaced most paper dictionaries and have become the primary learning tools in assisting L2 learners in expanding their lexical repertoire. Generally, users tend to assume the definitions in E-dictionaries are reliable and barely question the validity of the descriptions provided. The accuracy of major E-dictionaries is not commonly challenged, and the formation of...

The digitalization has revolutionized L2 acquisition and fostered a great diffusion of online dictionaries (Müller-Spitzer 2014). But experiments comparing online to paper-based dictionaries provide mixed results (Lew&DeSchryver 2014): Chen (2010) did not find significant differences for vocabulary acquisition between the two kind of dictionaries, while Allharbi (2016) and Dziemianko (2010)...

The bilingualized learner’s dictionary (BLD) combines elements of the monolingual and bilingual dictionaries (MDs and BDs, respectively). A BLD is normally compiled on the basis of an already existing learner’s MD (Cowie 1999) by supplementing the original monolingual entries with a translational equivalent in the learner’s mother tongue. It is believed that the addition of the equivalent...

Tracing the origins of surnames reveal more than familial affinity. Names are records and repositories of histories, contacts, movements, place and place-making, heritage, trade, cultural practices, aspirations, and occupations; and they also mark individuality and group affinity. In the study of Filipino last names, Philippine dictionaries were consulted to identify the components and...

Large Language Models (LLMs) are being used for many language-based tasks, including translation, summarization and paraphrasing, sentiment analysis, and for content-generation tasks, such as code generation, answering search queries in natural language, and to power chatbots in customer service and other domains. Since much modern lexicography is based on investigation and analysis of...

The languages of China, Japan, and Korea have created a significant number of lexicons derived from similar Chinese origins because of the Sinosphere's long-lasting influence. A considerable part of them exhibits semantic similarities as the characters comprise them often originate from common sources. Despite the fact that these cross-lingual near-synonyms overlap a substantial amount in...

Both thesauri and ontologies belong to Knowledge Organization Systems (KOSs) aiming to represent concept relations within a specific domain. Thesauri have emerged within the domain of lexicography, while ontologies originate from philosophy. Thesauri usually represent concepts of general language, while ontologies exist to represent the relations of terms within a specialized domain. Even...

Japanese-English dictionaries (JEDs) are intended to help Japanese to produce texts in English. Those dictionaries have been developing with a number of innovative features to help the users with their productive activities. Currently, however, JEDs are put under tremendous pressure from digital translation tools and apps. In view of this, JEDs have to distinguish themselves from those digital...

26. At the interface between "the Good Book" and "the wordbook": Bible translations and lexicographyMats-Peter Sundström6/24/23, 9:00 AM
The Bible is by far the most translated work of literature with translations encompassing more than 700 languages in the year 2020. Most translations were made over the past two hundred or so years, when missionary work resulted in Bible translations into numerous languages outside the Western cultural sphere, notably in Africa and Asia, leaving their mark also on lexicography. Parallel to or...

In this article, an attempt will be made to organise the overall macrostructure of Bangla adjectives by incorporating the most recognised two Bangla dictionaries with the available Bangla monolingual corpus. Our assumption is that there is a link between the degree of lexicalisation and the type of entry will be confirmed if we look at the dictionary entries for Bangla adjectival terms that...

Although loanwords do not take up a large proportion in the Korean vocabulary system, the actual usage frequency of loanwords is increasing day by day with the influx of foreign cultures. Loanwords are not foreign words and must abide by the language norms of Korean when they are used. Therefore, loanwords are also an important learning object for foreigners in the process of learning Korean....

Monolingual dictionaries are usually forgiven for not providing more grammatical information because their main target users are native speakers or highly-advanced learners, who likely do not have much need to look up the meaning and usage of, say, high-frequency function words. Dictionaries, however, also serve as encyclopaedias of linguistic information which reflect what we know and...

The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) has been widely recognized as one of the most trustworthy references in the world.

46. Avoiding “A certain kind of plant”: A case study in multidisciplinary approaches to lexicographyEric Englert6/24/23, 2:30 PM
Lexicography in the South Asian context often involves working with communities who live in areas with high degrees of endemism in both flora and fauna. According to the Botanical Survey of India, there are four biodiversity hotspots (viz. Himalaya, Indo-Burma, Sundaland, and Western Ghats and Sri Lanka) in South Asia. It is therefore inevitable that there will be lexical items collected for...

The paper discusses the treatment of idioms in a learners’ dictionary. Although idioms have received a fair amount of treatment in literature, they still present a challenge for natural language applications. Idioms are lexical signs, which have an opaque meaning in the sense that it cannot be deduced from the meaning of individual components. Learners are not always successful at finding the...

In the lexicography it has been the policy of most general dictionaries not to include entries for toponyms. The names of geographical names usually appear as dictionary headwords only when they are used allusively or in extended senses, that is they either serve as elements of ordinary words or phrases, or come to function as appellatives by themselves.
