Contents:
Frontmatter -- Table of contents -- 1. Preface -- 2. The philosophical and scientific status of lexicography -- 3. General lexicographical theory: other traditions and paradigms -- 4. General lexicographical theory: function theory -- 5. General theory for learner’s dictionaries -- 6. Specific theories for learner’s dictionaries -- 7. Brief points on Danish learner’s dictionaries -- 8. Conclusion -- Backmatter
Summary: The book contains a state-of-the-art summary of the theoretical discussions within the field of lexicography during the last decades. On this basis it presents and argues for a new general theory, called the function theory. It goes on to develop this theory in one single field, i.e. learners lexicography where it both formulates the basic elements of a general theory for learners’ dictionaries as well as a number of specific theories for special subfields such as selection, meaning, semantic relations, morphology, syntactic properties and word combinations. It contains a big number of examples extracted from existing dictionaries which are discussed from the point of view of the theories formulated.
