E-grāmata: e-Lexicography: The Internet, Digital Initiatives and Lexicography

This is an excellent collection of papers, which not only represents the state of the art of an emerging new field of "e-Lexicography", but also provides excellent examples of how theory and practice should go hand in hand to build a rigorous new research paradigm. -- Yukio Tono, Professor of Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Japan This book makes abundantly clear that the dictionaries as we know them are indeed a thing of the past. Exciting pointers to the future of our discipline are explored by a string of respected scholars, and unlike similar studies, a serious attempt is made at also embedding the (future) discipline into a theoretical framework. For this reason alone, this book must be on every lexicographer's desk. -- Gilles-Maurice de Schryver, Assistant Professor, African Languages and Cultures, Ghent University, Belgium All individual contributions are self-contained, with separate Notes/ Websites andmany cross-references to other chapters and with bibliographical referencesintegrated into a combined bibliography... and a useful overall subject index... [ the book] has left me quite impressed, and I recommend it to you. -- International Journal of Lexicography
