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.

Reviews

This is an excellent collection of papers, which not only represents the state of the art of an emerging new field of e-Lexicography , but also provides excellent examples of how theory and practice should go hand in hand to build a rigorous new research paradigm. -- Yukio Tono, Professor Of Tokyo University Of Foreign Studies, Japan This book makes abundantly clear that the dictionaries as we know them are indeed a thing of the past. Exciting pointers to the future of our discipline are explored by a string of respected scholars, and unlike similar studies, a serious attempt is made at also embedding the (future) discipline into a theoretical framework. For this reason alone, this book must be on every lexicographer's desk. -- Gilles-Maurice De Schryver, Assistant Professor, African Languages And Cultures, Ghent University, Belgium All individual contributions are self-contained, with separate Notes/ Websites andmany cross-references to other chapters and with bibliographical referencesintegrated into a combined bibliography... and a useful overall subject index... [the book] has left me quite impressed, and I recommend it to you. -- International Journal Of Lexicography
