This course deals with the fundamental concepts and latest developments in Lexicology and lexicography. The course begins with a discussion of conceptual analysis and terminology, followed by a consideration of the similarities and differences in form, content, and function between conventional dictionaries and on-line lexicons. The use of language corpora in the compilation of dictionaries and lexicons is also considered. Emphasis is given to the use of computational techniques in lexicographical research.
