Computer Corpus Lexicography

Using a convergence of perspectives from computational linguistics, corpus linguistics and computational lexicography/lexicology, this work introduces the reader to the changing notions of the lexicon and dictionary-making. The main issues include the relation between lexicon and corpus; corpus-based lexical modelling of language; and the computational storage of the lexicon. From this, the book constructs and applies a framework for lexicon-building to a case study. It also stresses the importance of the Internet and World Wide Web for dictionary research and study.
