The aim of this course is to introduce students to the theory and practice of lexicography. The interdisciplinary field of lexicography will serve as the meeting point of linguistic theory and corpus analysis. Students will be involved in applying linguistic theory –relevant to different levels of linguistic analysis like syntax, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics– to the design of dictionaries and the construction of entries. Students will also receive training in gathering authentic language data from corpora (e.g. using Sketch Engine) and using it for reviewing dictionary entries and reconstructing them. Key issues in lexicographic research (e.g. identifying, ordering and defining senses, selecting examples, phraseology, culture-specific items, translation equivalence, etc.) will be explored through examples from different types of dictionaries: monolingual (English and Greek) and bilingual, general purpose and pedagogical, print and electronic dictionaries.
