This volume is a compilation of nine articles, translated from
German. They deal with those lexicographic texts or text excerpts
which have been formulated in order to convey the meaning of a
lexical unit to a potential dictionary user who is not familiar
with that meaning. The articles not only critically analyze
lexicographic practice, in particular the so-called lexicographic
definitions and the items giving the synonyms in correlation with
the examples, in the light of different semantic approaches. They
also present ways towards a common understanding in the context of
lexicographically imparting knowledge of meaning, i.e. on the basis
of an actional-semantics approach which takes into account results
obtained from analyses of everyday dialogs about word meanings.
Moreover, they discuss how meaning-conveying texts can serve their
purposes in dictionary look-up situations, and they lay out all
those aspects which are particularly to be taken into consideration
in the formulation of lexicographic texts aimed at conveying
meaning, in dictionaries belonging to different types.
