The Lexicographic Process Revisited

International Journal of Lexicography, vol. 38, pp. 1–12

Abstract

Abstract Lexicographic practice is changing and so is the lexicographic process. This article therefore reconsiders the lexicographic process and takes into account the development towards centralised lexicographical databases which can be observed at lexicographic institutions and dictionary publishing houses in the last couple of years. We discuss how this affects the lexicographic process and its phases and how the process could be further changed by the systematic use of LLMs in lexicography or the further involvement of dictionary users in the process. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for continuously observing the lexicographic process and redefining it if necessary.
