Synopsis
The contributions build a bridge between traditional European lexicography and the diversity of lexicographic practice in Australia, demonstrating the importance of lexicography in the digital age. Special focus is placed on the socially relevant functions of specific types of dictionaries: social-linguistic self-assurance and identity formation in specialized fields, slang, dialects, as well as in living and endangered languages.
