At the time of the Euralex 2026 conference it will be nearly four years since the start of the GenAI revolution. The question that needs to be asked, and which will be answered, is thus: Is any of the past work in (academic) lexicography still of any relevance, or are LLM chatbots simply ‘dictionaries’ in their own right and ‘lexicographers’ plain and simple? The answer is a shocking one.

Dictionaries are widely regarded as authoritative linguistic resources that play a central role in shaping and legitimising language use in society (Haß-Zumkehr 2001). Beyond their descriptive function, they act as social agents influencing public perceptions and norms (Gouws 2022) and must therefore be understood as socially embedded artefacts reflecting linguistic, cultural, and societal...

Introduction
Go to contribution page
Chinese resultative complements such as Wan (完), Hao (好), and Dao (到) are frequently treated in bilingual dictionaries as generalized markers of completion or result. However, existing lexicographic descriptions often rely on simplified lexical glosses such as ‘finish’, ‘good’, or ‘arrive’, obscuring important cognitive-functional distinctions among these complements. In... -

Lexicographic practice has often balanced comprehensive coverage with systematic ordering, privileging alphabetical arrangement and encyclopedic completeness over clearly defined user needs.

In lexica of natural languages, polysemy is the rule rather than the exception. Understanding why it is so prevalent—given that the presence of multiple senses for a single form, from a purely semiotic point of view, constitutes ambiguity—and how it emerges is central to lexicology. Addressing this question, of course, requires proper operationalization of polysemy in the first place. A...

While recent scholarship highlights the generative capabilities of LLMs for drafting lexicographic entries, their “black box” nature poses challenges regarding training corpora, linguistic representativity, and semantic hallu-cination.

In postcolonial societies, language often functions as both a site of power and resistance, a reality profoundly exemplified by Camfranglais in multilingual Cameroon. As Foucault (1978, pp. 95–96) argues, power inevitably generates resistance, and in Cameroon this resistance manifests linguistically through a hybrid sociolect that disrupts inherited colonial hierarchies. Emerging in the 1970s...

A distinguishing feature of English dictionaries for learners is that most entries include example sentences or phrases that have been copied or adapted from corpora. Their function is to reinforce meaning by showing how words have been used in context, prioritising typical grammar patterns and lexical collocations (Fox 1987; Frankenberg-Garcia 2014; Frankenberg-Garcia, Rees and Lew 2021)....

The Icelandic linguist and philologist Konráð Gíslason (1808–1891) was the author of an influential Danish–Icelandic dictionary published in 1851, the first bilingual dictionary of its kind. The significance of this work lay less in its impact on lexicography than in its role in the history of linguistic purism in Iceland. One of its most distinctive features was the near absence of loanwords...

In the Albanian totalitarian political context, linguistic resources were considered an important tool for the installation of the guiding ideology and the materialist worldview. Dictionaries, being reference works, were very favourable and effective for normalizing any ideological perspective, even presenting them as objective linguistic truths. (Fairclough, 1992, p. 87). Our study aims at...

Intra-annotator agreement is the rate at which an annotator makes the same choices in the same situation. This paper examines the annotation process in a semi-automatic dictionary-making project, Czech Dictionary Express. In the vocabulary-building process, its annotators went through 100,000 headwords from a corpus frequency wordlist, marking each as incorrect or (partially) correct. The aim...

The DiaLexPoL project is building a diachronic lexical database of Neo-Latin (ca. 1550–1800) from the semi-automatically compiled diachronic corpus of Polish Latin (DiaCorPoL). Its principal bottleneck is sense assignment: referring early-modern attestations to an inventory designed for the Dictionary of Medieval Latin in Poland (DMLP). We ask whether deployable LLMs – cheap commercial...

Aligning a target word in a sentence with a dictionary sense is a challenging task, given the dynamicity of meaning (in context) and the fixed discrete senses in dictionaries, among other reasons. However, it is still a practical necessity for a lexicographer to select example sentences that best illustrate dictionary senses and, hence, find a way to address this challenge. Further challenges...

Speakers may need to consciously assess which expressions are appropriate for a communicative situation. One such dimension is indexicality: linguistic expressions may evoke the situational contexts in which they are typically employed. In a usage-based understanding, these indexical potentials emerge from recurrent co-occurrence between linguistic forms and situational features and become...

Recent developments in Large Language Models (LLMs) have opened new possibilities for supporting lexicographic work. Studies suggest that LLMs can assist in tasks such as generating definitions, drafting example sentences, and assigning examples to dictionary senses (Lew, 2023; Jakubíček and Rundell, 2023). At the same time, the status of word senses remains one of the most debated issues in...

A common challenge for language learners is finding appropriate L2 equivalents for L1 words. The difficulty is compounded when the L1 word is polysemous, because different senses typically call for different equivalents. When selecting an L2 equivalent for a polysemous L1 word, learners therefore face a twofold task: identifying the intended sense of the L1 word and choosing an L2 equivalent...

Today there are numerous frequency dictionaries marketed as learner’s dictionaries, with various source languages and mostly with English as target language. They typically contain 5000 lemmas, which happens to coincide with a rule of thumb (though without much academic substance) that this number of words provides the lexical text coverage (95-98%) necessary for an adequate text...

The Word Sketch is a core tool for modern corpus-based lexicography, providing a concise summary of a word's grammatical and collocational behavior.
