eadwords decision was based on lexical principles also. to the extent that decisions in dictionary compilation are informed by lexical principles, we may say, as doroszewski does, that they are derived from lexicological theory. indeed many aspects of lexicography must derive from explicit or implicit lexicological theory. for example, the question of what constitutes a lexeme is a lexicological matter, including the definition of the class of compounds or the classes of derivations. lexicology is likewise concerned to investigate questions of homonymy and polysemy, which are of great importance to lexicography. indeed generally, lexicology investigates how to describe lexemes, both formally and semantically. some lexicological theory (e.g. lexical field analysis) which we may consider of particular relevance to lexicography, has not yet been applied widely in dictionary compilation. this may be either because lexicography as a profession does not or cannot conceive of dictionaries handling lexical description in that way, …

tributes to the marking of style and register/domain in dictionaries. some of the main problems in lexicography the most important problems of lexicography are connected with: 1) the selection of lexical units for inclusion; 2) the arrangement of the selected lexical units; 3) the setting of the entry; 4) the selection and arrangement of word-meanings; 5) the definition of meanings; 6) the illustrative material. the selection of lexical units for inclusion.the choice of lexical units for inclusion is the first problem the lexicographer faces. it is necessary to decide: a) what types of lexical units will be chosen for the inclusion; b) the number of these items; c) what to select and what to leave out in the dictionary; d) which form of the language, spoken or written or both, the dictionary is to reflect; e) whether the dictionary should contain obsolete units, technical terms, dialectisms, colloquialisms, and some others. …

entry presents, as it were, an independent problem. lexicologists sort and present their material in a sequence depending upon their views concerning the vocabulary system, whereas lexicographers have to arrange it most often according to a purely external characteristic, namely alphabetically. it goes without saying that neither of these branches of linguistics could develop successfully without the other, their relationship being essentially that of theory and practice dealing with the same objects of reality. the term dictionary is used to denote a book listing words of a language with their meanings and often with data regarding pronunciation, usage and/or origin. there are also dictionaries that concentrate their attention upon only one of these aspects: pronouncing (phonetical) dictionaries (by daniel jones) and etymological dictionaries (by walter skeat, by erik partridge, “the oxford english dictionary"). for dictionaries in which the words and their definitions belong to the same language the term unilingual …

me synchronic dictionaries are at the same time historical when they represent the state of vocabulary at some past stage of its development. 4 both bilingual and unilingual dictionaries can be general and special. general dictionaries represent the vocabulary as a whole with a degree of completeness depending upon the scope and bulk of the book in question. the group includes the thirteen volumes of “the oxford english dictionary” alongside with any miniature pocket dictionary. some general dictionaries may have very specific aims and still be considered general due to their coverage. they include, for instance, frequency dictionaries, i.e. lists of words, each of which is followed by a record of its frequency of occurrence in one or several sets of reading matter. a rhyming dictionary is also a general dictionary, though arranged in inverse order, and so is a thesaurus in spite of its unusual arrangement. general dictionaries are …
