Pedro A. Fuertes-Olivera: A guide to practical online lexicography

Duplančić Rogošić, Gorana (author)

A Guide to Practical Online Lexicography, authored by Pedro A. Fuertes-Olivera, provides a structured, up-to-date guide to digital lexicography, combining contemporary theoretical insights with practical, workflow-oriented guidance. The volume provides a systematic overview of the key stages involved in developing lexicographic data capable of meeting the needs of both human and machine users quickly and effectively. Unlike earlier practical lexicography manuals, it moves beyond dictionary-centric approaches and adopts the concept of the lexicographic square, a model composed of four interdependent components — lexicographic data, users, access and presentation, and usage — advancing the argument that lexicography should be recognised as an autonomous discipline and enabling a new conceptual perspective. The volume discusses various types of lexicographic data and existing online dictionary models, examines the relationship between technology, users, compilers, and funding models, and provides a detailed case study of the Diccionario Digital del Español (DIDES), an online dictionary of Spanish edited by the author. Supported by further reading suggestions, practical exercises, and discussion questions, and grounded in more than twenty years of international academic and professional experience, the volume functions as a comprehensive and authoritative resource for students, scholars, and practitioners in e-lexicography.

Abstract

A Guide to Practical Online Lexicography avtorja Pedra A. Fuertes-Olivere je priročnik, ki na strukturiran način predstavi sodobno digitalno leksikografijo. V njem najdemo najnovejše teoretične in praktične vsebine. Priročnik nam sistematično predstavi ključne faze pridobivanja leksikografskih podatkov, ki bodo koristili raziskovalcem in raziskovalkam pri tradicionalni kot tudi pri strojni uporabi. Za razliko od prejšnjih priročnikov za praktično leksikografijo ta priročnik presega pristope, osredotočene na slovarje in uvaja nov koncept tako imenovanega modela leksikografskega kvadrata, ki ga sestavljajo štiri medsebojno odvisne komponente: leksikografski podatki, uporabniki, dostop do podatkov ter njihova predstavitev in uporaba. S tem potrjuje tezo, da je treba leksikografijo priznati kot samostojno disciplino, ki predstavlja nov konceptualni vidik.Priročnik obravnava različne vrste leksikografskih podatkov ter obstoječe modele spletnih slovarjev, obenem pa preučuje razmerje med tehnologijo, uporabniki, sestavljavci in modeli financiranja, vključuje pa tudi poglobljeno študijo primera spletnega slovarja španščine Diccionario Digital del Español (DIDES), ki ga ureja avtor priročnika. Priročnik vsebuje predloge za nadaljnje branje, praktične vaje in diskusijo. Priročnik, ki temelji na več kot dvajsetih letih mednarodnih akademskih in strokovnih izkušenj, je namenjen študentom in študentkam, raziskovalcem in raziskovalkam ter uporabnikom in uporabnicam na področju e-leksikografije.
