Professor Zgusta's work in lexicography and linguistics proper is
built upon a multilingual command of linguistic theory, literary
history, the history of linguistics, and his experience as a
>practical< lexicographer. The topic under consideration may
be the organization and development of a standard variety of a
language; explorations of the consequences of linguistic theory on
the practical lexicographic applications in making dictionaries
that range from Ahtna to Zoque and Batad Ifuagao to Yolngu-Matha;
the method of definition in bilingual dictionaries; the state of
affairs in Russian lexicography; learner's dictionaries; ancient
Greek lexicography; pragmatics; scripts and morphological types;
the history of English lexicography; or behind the scenes at the
making of the Czech-Chinese dictionary. The reader will not only be
offered a careful and wide-ranging study of these important topics
in the discipline, but will be taken on a guided comparative and
historical tour that illuminates the strengths and weaknesses of
current practice and theory. His work reminds those linguists and
lexicographers who are locked into >paradigm< battles of the
Kuhnian kind that the wheel has already been invented. Most of the
articles in this volume have been updated. The editors have also
conflated six articles on the history of dictionaries into one
seamless narrative with connective tissue supplied by Zgusta.
