The Bloomsbury Companion To Lexicography de Professor Howard Jackson

The Bloomsbury Companion To Lexicography: Bloomsbury Companions

Editat de Professor Howard Jackson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 oct 2013
The Bloomsbury Companion to Lexicography offers the definitive guide to a key area of linguistic study. Each companion is a comprehensive reference resource featuring an overview of key topics, research areas, new directions and a manageable guide to beginning or developing research in the field. Lexicography, as the practice of compiling dictionaries, has a long tradition that has been, for much of the time, largely independent of linguistics. The direct influence of linguistics on lexicography goes back around 50 years, though longer in the case of learners' dictionaries. The present volume aims to reflect on the research that has been and is being done in lexicography and to point the way forward. It tackles, among other topics, the critique of dictionaries in the electronic medium, the future of historical lexicography in the electronic mode with special reference to the online Oxford English Dictionary, and e-lexicography in general.

Recenzii

The volume provides an enormously valuable and instructive starting point for research into lexicography and meta-lexicography; the contributions include helpful and detailed examples, and the relatively compact size of each paper makes the book particularly manageable for students and other researchers.
The wealth of different perspectives that the Companion offers to its readers is impressive ... [It is] beautifully edited and organized. Each (sub)chapter begins with a neat and helpful table presenting the structure of the contribution, with page numbers directing the reader to different sections of the chapter.
I expect this book will be a strong catalyst for lexicographers of every stripe. It presents contemporary research, summarized for review at a readable scale, with the happy outcome that both specialists and new researchers may reach a clearly contextualized understanding of the trajectories of sub-fields other than their own.
The last three sections are brilliantly included for students: a section on resources, a glossary of lexicographic terms, and an annotated bibliography by the editor Jackson. If every companion or guide contained such resources (even an annotated bibliography), we should be so lucky. . In sum, this volume is useful for students who know little about lexicography, or for professors who use lexicons consistently and want to become more aware of the issues involved in approaching them.
Jackson's Companion provides a current, comprehensive and highly accessible overview of the multi-faceted field of lexicography. Assuming little specialist knowledge, the book systematically sets out the key issues of the discipline to both students (its primary target audience) and experts. The topics of the 20 chapters have been well-chosen and the contributions carefully edited. I strongly recommend the Companion to everyone with an interest in lexicography!
If you expect an in-depth volume that includes state-of-the-art summaries of research and scholarship in major subareas of lexicography, your expectations are fulfilled by this book. It draws on the expertise of leading dictionary researchers and lexicographers from all over the world. Comprehensive and accessible, this will be an excellent resource for the students of lexicography.
