The article shows how these dictionaries have been extremely flexible in their adaptation to the complex and ever changing needs of their users. The great differences in terms of name, size, content, style, and structure may, at least partially, be explained by this fact. In this respect, the article systematizes the functions registered in economic dictionaries during the past 300 years, and presents some suggestions for the immediate future of online dictionaries. Keywords: economic lexicography, specialised lexicography, dictionaries of economics, online dictionaries, function theory. Resumen Sobre el status disciplinario y funcional de la lexicografía económica Los diccionarios de economía en el sentido amplio de la palabra existen en el contexto europeo desde hace más de 300 años.

  • Translate's Localization Guide
    Translate’s Localization Guide Release 0.9.0 Translate Jun 26, 2020 Contents 1 Localisation Guide 1 2 Glossary 191 3 Language Information 195 i ii CHAPTER 1 Localisation Guide The general aim of this document is not to replace other well written works but to draw them together. So for instance the section on projects contains information that should help you get started and point you to the documents that are often hard to find. The section of translation should provide a general enough overview of common mistakes and pitfalls. We have found the localisation community very fragmented and hope that through this document we can bring people together and unify information that is out there but in many many different places. The one section that we feel is unique is the guide to developers – they make assumptions about localisation without fully understanding the implications, we complain but honestly there is not one place that can help give a developer and overview of what is needed from them, we hope that the developer section goes a long way to solving that issue. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide one reference for localisers. You will find lots of information on localising and packaging on the web but not a single resource that can guide you. Most of the information is also domain specific ie it addresses KDE, Mozilla, etc. We hope that this is more general. This document also goes beyond the technical aspects of localisation which seems to be the domain of other lo- calisation documents.

  • Juri Apresjan and the Development of Semantics and Lexicography1
    Juri Apresjan and the Development of Semantics and Lexicography Igor Burkhanov, Section of Applied Linguistics, Institute of English Studies, University of Rzeszów, Rzeszów, Poland ([email protected]) Abstract: The major aim of this article is to highlight Juri Apresjan's impact on the develop- ment of linguistic semantics and theoretical lexicography. In order to achieve this goal, a number of issues of paramount importance, which have always been in the focus of attention in Apresjan's publications, have to be discussed: (a) the notion of "naïve picture of the world", i.e. language-spe- cific folk categorization encoded in the lexical and grammatical semantics of a particular language, as opposed to the supposedly universal and language-independent system of scientific concepts; (b) basic properties of the formal metalanguage of semantic desciption, its explanatory power and applicability in dictionary-making; and (c) representation of synonymy in a bilingual and a mono- lingual dictionary of synonyms designed within the framework of systematic lexicography. In addition, considerable attention has been given to two basic categories of systematic lexicography, "lexicographic portrait" and "lexicographic type", as well as the zonal structure of dictionary arti- cles. Keywords: BILINGUAL DICTIONARY, COMMONSENSE (EVERYDAY) KNOWLEDGE, DEFINITION, DICTIONARY OF SYNONYMS, EXPERT KNOWLEDGE, INTEGRATED LEXICO- GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION, LEXICOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT, LEXICOGRAPHIC TYPE, META- LANGUAGE, NAÏVE PICTURE OF THE WORLD, SCIENTIFIC PICTURE OF THE WORLD, SYNONYM SERIES, SYSTEMATIC LEXICOGRAPHY, TRANSLATION DICTIONARY, ZONAL STRUCTURE (OF A DICTIONARY ENTRY) Opsomming: Jury Apresjan en die ontwikkeling van die semantiek en lek- sikografie. Die hoofdoel van hierdie artikel is om Juri Apresjan se invloed op die ontwikkeling van die linguistiese semantiek en teoretiese leksikografie uit te lig.

  • Igor Burkhanov. Lexicography: a Dictionary of Basic Terminology. 1998, 285 Pp
    Resensies / Reviews 320 Igor Burkhanov. Lexicography: A Dictionary of Basic Terminology. 1998, 285 pp. ISBN 83-87288-56-X. Rzeszów: Wyższa Szkoła Pedagogiczna. Price 16 PLN. A long-awaited dictionary has at last been published, going beyond a glossary of lexicographic terms (cf. Robinson 1984) or a dictionary of a particular aspect of lexicography (cf. Cluver 1989). It is the first dictionary of basic lexicography terms. In 265 pages Burkhanov gives us a balanced view of the state of the art in dictionary form. It comprises terms typical of lexicographic work, including terms originally related to different linguistic disciplines. The selection of the data is founded, as can be inferred from the bibliogra- phy (p. 267-285), on a solid basis. It covers publications over the last twenty years, deals with various aspects of the field and includes the most recent trends from the late eighties and the nineties, e.g. Bergenholtz and Tarp (1995), Bright (1992), Bussmann (1996), Cowie (1987), Cluver (1989), Diab (1990), Fill- more and Atkins (1992), Ilson (1991), Benson, Benson and Ilson (1986), Landau (1989), Hüllen (1990), Snell-Hornby (1990). It is not difficult to find one's way in the dictionary: few symbols are used, most important of which are the ones indicating cross-references within the word-list. In this dictionary, though the arrangement of terms is alphabetical, conceptual relatedness between terms is not lost. Related terms are listed at the end of the explanatory text with the guide words "see also" and "compare". "See also" refers to superordinate and subordinate terms, e.g.

  • A Comparison Between Specialized and General Dictionaries with Reference to Legal Ones
    Alexandria University Faculty of Arts- English Department Language and Translation Section ------------- A Comparison between Specialized and General Dictionaries With Reference to Legal ones Nada At. Sharaan Alexandria University 36 Abstract Dictionaries play a major role when it comes to different linguistic processes. Indeed, they are quite essential for beginners as they are considered the main sources for obtaining meaning. However, dictionaries do not only provide information related to meanings of words, but they also provide different kinds of linguistic information such as spelling, pronunciation, etymology and syntax. Thus, not only do learners depend on dictionaries, but specialists also consult them for different purposes. In other words, dictionaries have a variety of different functions, that is why Lexicography, which is compiling dictionaries, is quite an essential field. Dictionary compilers try to make things easier for their users. In fact, the way a dictionary is presented is affected by its purpose or aim. In other words, there are different kinds of dictionaries depending on the type of users. There are general dictionaries and specialized ones. What is the purpose of these types? What are the differences between them? Which is more useful for users? My research is an attempt to provide answers to these questions. Keywords: linguistic, dictionary, general, specialized, user, purpose 37 Introduction Lexicography is concerned with the way different linguistic information should be presented in a dictionary. Different principles and approaches are created in order to make things easier for learners and specialists. However, things are not that easy as there are different types of users. That is why different types of dictionaries are created.
