Talk:Lexicography

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isn't it that what is called here theoretical lexicography is in fact lexicology?

This has to be checked (maybe by myself).

Ok, ok, wikipedia is not a dictionary...that's cool... does anyone know if there is a wiki dictionary out there? I want to help promote wiki use in my classrooms and a dictionary project could be very cool for some of the younger learners, and an etymology for the older learners.... User:DennisDaniels

I agree, what here is called theoretical lexicography is indeed lexicology. The term theoretical lexicopgraphy should logically be reserved for the theoretical aspect of lexicography, i.e. for theories on how to make and analyse dictionaries, what structure they have, etc. Trondtr 22:32, 2 October 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Merger?

Today I decided to work on extensive revisions to Webster's Dictionary and in poking around found a stub at Webster's New International Dictionary, Second Edition and a longer article at Webster's Third New International Dictionary. It seems to me it would be best to consolidate the second and third material at Webster's Dictionary, because it is the familiar name and it would put the history of the work, which has appeared under several names in one spot; then put in redirects under the other names. I've integrated the material at the present "Third" article with my own contributions at Webster's Dictionary. Would anyone with comments please contact me on my talk page?
