The need for constructing a lexicographical theory with a
particular focus on specialised dictionaries for learners is well
documented in recent publications. This will imply paying attention
to, at least, four basic lexicographic categories: learners; the
learner's situation; the learner's needs; dictionary assistance. In
one or other way, these categories are analysed in this book, whose
eleven chapters are grouped into three parts. Part 1 reflects on
some of the main ideas defended by the function theory of
lexicography, perhaps the theoretical framework that has paid more
attention to specialised lexicography. Part 2 presents some
proposals that have already being explored in the field of general
learner's dictionary and must be incorporated into specialised
metalexicography: cultural aspects; figurative meaning; the
inclusion of grammatical information; the use of corpora. Part 3
introduces the state of play regarding specialised dictionaries in
China and offers some ideas for coping with the proliferation of
terminological glossaries in Internet. The book also describes
Enrique Alcaraz's academic achievements, together with some
personal anecdotes, and a personal short tribute to his memory.
