520			_aIt provides a systematic survey of the theory and methods of dictionary-making(including the linguistic background): what types of dictionary there are, how different kinds of information are dealt with when compiling dictionaries, how this information is presented to users, and how dictionaries are actually used. This handbook refers throughout to both monolingual and bilingual dictionaries, giving a full account of the writing definitions as well as of the selection and presentation of equivalents. The treatment of other types of information provided in dictionaries-such as pronunciation, inflection, constructions, collocations and idioms- is described systematically in individual chapters. Likewise, this handbook discusses dictionary structure, illustrations, the collection and selection of material, the management of dictionary projects, law and ethics in lexicographic work, and dictionary criticism. Distinctly, the author discusses the role of the Web, electronic corpora, electronic dictionaries, and compilation software used in dictionary-making.
