This book introduces the reader to the changing notions of the lexicon and
dictionary-making, using a convergence of perspectives from computational
linguistics, corpus linguistics, and computational lexicography/lexicology.
The main issues include: the relation between lexicon and corpus;
corpus-based lexical modelling of language; the computational storage of
the lexicon. From this, the book constructs and applies a framework for
lexicon-building to a case study. It also stresses the importance of the
Internet and World Wide Web for dictionary research and study.
