Disciplines, Principles and Methodology of Lexicography
Abstract
Lexicography is an activity and art of compilation,
composition and editing of dictionaries, though it is also taken
as work of writing. It has two disciplines, namely practical
lexicography and theoretical lexicography. The first one is
related with compilation or writing of dictionaries by art and craft
and the later discipline is associated with analysis and account
of semantic and syntagmatic study within the vocabulary of a
language.
It is essential for a lexicographer that he must be an honest
and a sincere person. Also, he should not induce his or her
likings and dislikings or jealousness in the text or explanations
of the words. He should be careful in the selection of words and
their synonyms.
The methodology of lexicography depends upon many
factors, such as: type of lexicon, languages involved, thickness
of dictionary, selection of terms and words, etymology, spelling,
pronunciation, alternate words, explanations, grammatical
variations, and idiomatic meanings.
In this research paper, I have discussed these disciplines,
principles and methodology of lexicons in detail.
