Abstract

The book deals with various aspects of specialised lexicography: the discipline and its academic status; the function theory and the various arguments against it; competing theories, especially theories of terminography; various aspects of methodology; special problems related to online lexicography; and criticism of a number of existing specialised online dictionaries. Finally, the ideas put forward are exemplified by means of a detailed description of a specialised dictionary project from the planning phase to its publication, as well as recommendations for other types of specialised dictionaries.
