Aims and Scopes

LEXICOGRAPHICA serves as a pivotal platform for exploring the intricate relationship between language, culture, and lexicography. The journal emphasizes the multifaceted nature of lexicographical studies, integrating theoretical approaches with practical applications.
  1. Interdisciplinary Lexicography:
    The journal promotes the integration of various disciplines within lexicography, including linguistics, cultural studies, and history, providing comprehensive insights into the complexities of dictionary-making and language documentation.
  2. Cultural Representation:
    A significant focus is placed on how dictionaries reflect cultural identities and ideologies, with studies examining the representation of culture-bound items and the impact of historical contexts on lexicographical practices.
  3. Terminology and Specialized Language:
    The exploration of specialized terminologies across different languages and fields is a core area, highlighting innovative methodologies for extracting and structuring lexicons relevant to various domains.
  4. Critical Analysis of Lexicographic Practices:
    The journal encourages critical examinations of lexicographic works, especially regarding issues of linguistic exclusion, ideological biases, and the societal implications of dictionary definitions.
  5. Technological Innovations in Lexicography:
    There is a growing emphasis on the impact of technology on lexicography, including AI-based models and digital resources that enhance the accessibility and functionality of dictionaries.
Recent publications in LEXICOGRAPHICA have highlighted several emerging themes that reflect the evolving landscape of lexicography. These trends indicate a shift towards more inclusive, technologically advanced, and culturally aware lexicographic research.
  1. Cultural and Social Inclusivity:
    There is a growing focus on how lexicography can promote inclusivity and representation, particularly regarding marginalized groups and the examination of linguistic exclusion in historical and contemporary dictionaries.
  2. AI and Digital Lexicography:
    The integration of artificial intelligence and digital technologies in lexicography is becoming a significant theme, exploring how these innovations can transform dictionary-making and enhance user engagement.
  3. Multilingual and Comparative Studies:
    Emerging interest in multilingual lexicography reflects the need to understand language in a globalized context, emphasizing the importance of comparative studies across different languages and cultures.
  4. Lexicography and Identity:
    Research exploring the relationship between lexicography and cultural identity is on the rise, with studies examining how dictionaries shape and reflect societal values and cultural narratives.
  5. Critical Discourse Analysis in Lexicography:
    There is an increasing trend towards using critical discourse analysis to examine the ideological implications of dictionary entries, addressing how language choices can perpetuate or challenge societal norms.

Declining or Waning

While LEXICOGRAPHICA has seen the emergence of new themes, certain areas have begun to lose prominence over recent years. These waning scopes reflect shifts in research focus and evolving interests within the lexicographic community.
  1. Historical Lexicography:
    Research focusing on historical lexicography, while still present, appears to be declining in frequency, as contemporary issues and technologies take precedence in the discussions around dictionary creation and use.
  2. Traditional Lexicographic Methods:
    The emphasis on conventional lexicographic methodologies is waning, as newer approaches and digital tools gain traction, reflecting a broader trend towards innovation in the field.
  3. Single-Language Dictionaries:
    The focus on single-language dictionaries is becoming less prominent, with an increasing interest in multilingual and comparative lexicography that addresses global language dynamics.
  4. Static Definitions:
    Research centered on static definitions in dictionaries is declining, as there is a shift towards dynamic and context-sensitive approaches that reflect the evolving nature of language.
  5. Prescriptive vs. Descriptive Approaches:
    The debate between prescriptive and descriptive lexicography is becoming less central, as researchers increasingly recognize the value of integrating both perspectives in understanding language use.
