is a rigorous and systematic overview of the field and its recent
developments. Featuring key topics, research areas, new directions and a
manageable guide to beginning and developing research in the field, this
one-volume reference provides both a survey of current research and more
practical guidance for advanced study.
Fully updated and revised to take account of recent developments, in
particular innovations in digital technology and online lexicography,
this second edition features:
- 6 new chapters, covering metalexicography, lexicography for Asian
languages, lexicography for endangered and minority languages,
onomasiological lexicography, collaborative lexicography, and internet
dictionaries
- Thoroughly revised chapters on learner dictionaries, bilingual
dictionaries and future directions, alongside a significantly updated
third part on 'New Directions in Lexicography', accounting for
innovations in digital lexicography
- An expanded glossary of key terms and an updated annotated
bibliography
Identifying and describing the central concepts associated with
lexicography and its main branches of study, The Bloomsbury Handbook
of Lexicography demonstrates the direct influence of linguistics on the
development of the field and is an essential resource for anyone
interested in this area.
