Abstract According to the most recent lexicographic research, there are three basic types of user situation: the cognitive, the communicative, and the operational user situation (Tarp 2008b). The development of the Internet has contributed to enhancing the lexicographical value of these three user situations as the Internet provides quick and easy access to data from which the potential users may retrieve the information needed in specific situations.
This book is an update on the Function Theory of Lexicography that offers convincing arguments on the independent academic status of lexicography as well as its association with related disciplines. It discusses the topic of e-lexicography in full, from its theoretical foundations to its practical application in the design, compilation and updating of high-quality specialised online dictionaries.
This Handbook is a reference work covering key topics in lexicography. Each chapter (47 chapters in the Routledge Handbook of Lexicography) provides an introductory overview of an area of the field of lexicography.

The WWW As a Resource for Lexicography2000 •
Until the appearance of the Brown Corpus with its 1 million words in the 1960s and then, on a larger scale, the British National Corpus (the BNC) with its 100 million words, the lexicographer had to rely pretty much on his or her intuition (and amassed scraps of papers) to describe how words were used. Since the task of a lexicographer was to summarize the senses and usages of a word, that person was called upon to be very well read, with a good memory, and a great sensitivity to nuance. These qualities are still and always will be needed when one must condense the description of a great variety of phenomena into a fixed amount of space. But what if this last constraint, a fixed amount of space, disappears? One can then imagine fuller descriptions of how words are used. Taking this imaginative step, the FrameNet project has begun collecting new, fuller descriptions into a new type of lexicographical resource in which e ach entry will in principle provide an exhaustive account of the semantic and syntactic combinatorial properties of one "lexical unit" (i.e., one word in one of its uses).' (Fillmore & Atkins 1998) This ambition to provide an exhaustive accounting of these properties implies access to a large number of examples of words in use. Though the Brown Corpus and the British National Corpus can provide a certain number of these, the World Wide Web (WWW) presents a vastly larger collection of examples of language use. The WWW is a new resource for lexicographers in their task of describing word patterns and their meanings. In this chapter, we look at the WWW as a corpus, and see how this will change how lexicographers model word meaning.

This paper argues in favour of an adapted, extended theory of lexicography to cater for the fast-growing e-lexicography practice. We believe that such a modern general lexicographic theory should be rooted in three fundamental phases of the development of lexicographic theory, i.e. the focus on linguistic contents – Zgusta, Wiegand’s focus on dictionary structures and Bergenholtz and Tarp’s emphasis on lexicographic functions with the user in focus. Although the linguistic contents and the functions of printed and e-dictionaries can be similar, the presentation differs and that demands innovative formulations of dictionary structures. Lexicographic theory is expanded by describing and taking cognisance of all innovative technological features enabled by the computer era, including data collection and processing and data representation and interface design, in order to respond to the different needs of the envisaged target users in an optimal way. Insights from the field of informati...

The aim of this book is to advance the theory and practice of specialised online dictionaries by reinforcing the independent status of specialised lexicography through the application of the Function Theory of Lexicography (FTL) and by providing a critical view of existing specialised online dictionaries.
