	Foclóir - Irish Lexicography
		This is the earliest known attempt at bilingual lexicography in Irish.
		Lexicography of various kinds has been practised in Irish from that time down to our own day – a journey of about 1,250 years.
		In any case the journey of over one thousand two hundred years travelled by Irish lexicography from the glossist of Würzburg to the new Foras na Gaeilge dictionary is one of which we can be justifiably proud.

		Lexicography is the art and craft of making dictionaries –; all types of dictionaries, from scholarly, historical works to dictionaries for language learners in type, from monolingual to bilingual to multilingual in scope, from online to print in format.
		Theoretical lexicography involves a certain amount of linguistics, and is related to (but is not the same as) lexicology.
		Practical lexicography is, as its name suggests, the actual compilation of dictionaries, and covers not only selecting facts to go in the dictionary, and presenting them appropriately, but also the use of corpus-querying and dictionary-compiling software.

	IULA (UPF) - Master on Terminology and Lexicography
		Lexicography is one aspect of applied linguistics with no specific training programmes.
		The goal of this program is to prepare high-level lexicography professionals, who can take part not only in the writing task of a dictionary, but also in the conception, organization and coordination of lexicographic and terminological projects.
		Lexicography professionals must be able to describe the language or languages they work with, they must know the principles of general monolingual lexicography and the specificities of other lexicographic and terminological products.

		I am not so lost in lexicography as to forget that words are the daughters of earth, and that things are the sons of heaven.

	Oxford Journals \| Humanities \| International Journal of Lexicography
		The International Journal of Lexicography was launched in 1988.
		Interdisciplinary as well as international, it is concerned with all aspects of lexicography, including issues of design, compilation and use, and with dictionaries of all languages, though the chief focus is on dictionaries of the major European languages - monolingual and bilingual, synchronic and diachronic, pedagogical and encyclopedic.
		The Journal recognizes the vital role of lexicographical theory and research, and of developments in related fields such as computational linguistics, and welcomes contributions in these areas.

		The readership aimed by this Guide is quite vast, ranging from ''students of linguistics, language engineering and natural language processing who want to study or work in Lexicography'' to ''teachers who want to teach the efficient use of dictionaries, translators'' and even to ''general readers'' who might be interested in the making-of of dictionaries.
		Chapter 2, Descriptive Lexicography, includes six articles: 2.1 Phonological, morphological and syntactic specifications in monolingual dictionaries, by J. de Caluwe and A. van Santen (71-82), is an analysis of the phonological, morphological and syntactic information provided by dictionaries.
		This transformation in the domain of lexicography is not costless: electronic dictionaries can not be achieved only by lexicographers; they require specific software and software designers.

		Lexicography is here considered in the literal and concrete sense of the word : the writing of the lexicon, the ordered description of the lexicon of a language in the form of a reference work usually called a dictionary.
		Modern lexicography did not wait for the invention of the computer, nor even that of the 17th-century calculating machines of Leibniz and Pascal, to apply computer methods to dictionaries.
		A good broad account of the period 1960-early 1990s, that of computer-assisted and computer-driven lexicography resulting in print and CD-ROM dictionaries, is given by Meijs (1991) ; an in-depth one by Knowles (1990).

		It is important that the information in these lexicons be sifted and made as accurate as possible, and Lee pinpoints the areas where the most work is needed.
		However, after reading Part I of Lee's book (which I need to read again to better understand all that Lee discusses) I can't help but think that the primary problem between lexicography and the popular/common user of the lexicon is a bit of a paradox.
		Definitions are one way, but we also need to do better in training folks how to use these resources and what to expect to gain from their usage.

		First, the WSD position is considered counter to much current work in linguistics (and theoretical computational linguistics) that address polysemy by exploiting systematic relationships among the senses.
		Second, there is no clear notion of what a word sense is, both in linguistics and in lexicography.
		Interest in Computational Lexicography, a formalization of lexicon-building inspired by standard lexicography, arose during the last decade, partly to provide a better foundation for the use of MRD's but also since it was felt that MRD analysis would never be sufficient to meet the needs of applications, as discussed by Atkins [

	The Evolution of English lexicography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Such was one of the fountain-heads of English lexicography; the other is to be found in the fact that in those distant days, as in our own, the learning of Latin was the acquisition of a foreign tongue which involved the learning of a grammar and of a vocabulary.
		Both grammar and vocables were probably in the main communicated by oral teaching, by the living voice of the master, and were handed down by oral tradition from generation to generation.
		In literary culture the Normans were about as far behind the people whom they conquered as the Romans were when they made themselves masters of Greece; and it was not till some two generations after the Conquest, that learning and literature regained in England somewhat of the position which they had occupied two centuries earlier.
