In recent years the focus in linguistics research has shifted from the investigation of syntax, phonology and logical semantics

In recent years the focus in linguistics research has shifted from the investigation of syntax, phonology and logical semantics
supported by intuitions and speculation, to a more hard-nosed analysis of words in text and speech, focusing on how words
are actually used. As such, lexicography has moved from the periphery to the centre of language research. At the same time,
lexicography itself is in transition from a highly traditional craft, to a new interdisciplinary science. This handbook contrasts
traditional methods of lexicography with newly emerging electronic and corpus-driven approaches. The International Handbook
of Modern Lexis and Lexicography is a fully international and comprehensive reference work. It deals with every aspect of
lexicography in all major languages, together with area studies of lexicography in indigenous languages, as well as rare and
endangered languages. Readers will benefit from the comparative study of best practice and future targets in lexicography
in all the countries of the world. The Springer Handbook will be of interest to users ranging from general readers and undergraduates
to specialists from the fields of lexicography, language teaching, computational linguistics, translation studies, and literary
and cultural studies.
