This volume draws together highly detailed studies of how
dictionaries are used by different types of users, from school
students to senior professors, working with a foreign language with
the help of different types of dictionaries, from monolingual
dictionaries for native speakers of the foreign language, through
bilingual dictionaries, to monolingual dictionaries in the language
of the user. The tasks being carried out include L2-L1 translation,
L1-L2 translation, L2 comprehension, self-expression in L2, and
various project-specific linguistic exercises. The authors have
tried to include enough detail to allow readers to replicate the
tests, and adapt them to serve their own interests.

This is a down-to-earth, 'how to do it' textbook on the making of
dictionaries. Written by professional lexicographers with over
seventy years' experience between them, the book presents a
step-by-step course for the training of lexicographers in all
settings, including publishing houses, colleges, and universities
world-wide, and for the teaching of lexicography as an academic
discipline. It takes readers through the processes of designing,
collecting, and annotating a corpus of texts; shows how to analyse
the data in order to extract the relevant information; and
demonstrates how these findings are drawn together in the semantic,
grammatical, and pedagogic components that make up an entry. The
authors explain the relevance and application of recent linguistic
theories, such as prototype theory and frame semantics, and
describe the role of software in the manipulation of data and the
compilation of entries. They provide practical exercises at every
stage.
The Oxford Guide to Practical Lexicography draws on materials
developed by the authors over more than twenty years of teaching
courses for publishing houses and universities in the US, Japan,
Hong Kong and China, South Africa, Australia, the UK, and Europe.
It will be welcomed everywhere by lexicographers, teachers of
lexicography, and their students. It is also fascinating reading
for all those interested in discovering how dictionaries are made.
