Dictionaries are widely regarded as authoritative linguistic resources that play a central role in shaping and legitimising language use in society (Haร-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...

This paper presents a case study exploring the potential of Large Language Models for learner-oriented phraseography through the generation of COBUILD-style Full-Sentence Definitions and AI-generated dual illustrations representing both the literal and phraseological meanings of idioms. The study is situated within Phrasolino, an electronic Italian-German phraseological learnerโs dictionary...

The study presented in the article examines the lemma selection of newly added adjectives in the Norwegian standard dictionaries Bokmรฅlsordboka (BOB) and Nynorskordboka (NOB). Anchored in Critical Lexicographical Discourse Studies (CLDS), the study investigates whether the new adjectives and their sentence examples in the dictionary reflect potential gender-related asymmetries....

This paper describes efforts to extract frequency information from corpora and to rank the collocates in Woordcombinaties, a Dutch phraseological lexicographic resource, in a uniform and systematic way, taking various factors such as the size and composition of the corpus, linguistic processing and the mathematical properties of various association measures into account. A small sample of...

This paper introduces The interactional lexicon, an online lexicographic resource for lexical units in German talk-in-interaction. The resourceโs core contribution is a function-first entry model that complements form-based access. Grounded in Interactional Linguistics, all entries are derived from empirical, peer-reviewed studies and document units that are frequent or distinctively used in...

Large language models (LLMs) continue to perform suboptimally in tasks involving metaphor detection and explanation (Devlin et al., 2019; Liu et al., 2022; Klemen & Robnik ล ikonja, 2023, Kim et al., 2023; He et al., 2023; Despot, Ostroลกki Aniฤ, & Veale, 2023; Tong et al., 2024; Puraivan et al., 2024; Yang et al., 2025; Chen & Wang, 2025). Core challenges lie in the inherent semantic complexity...

The aim of this paper is to explore methods to utilize the linguistic knowledge accumulated in language models to evaluate corpus sentences as potential examples in dictionary entries. We examine the TPEX (Typical Example) measure in three variants in the task of assessing the typicality of a sentence based on how probable the appearance of the headword in the given context is, as per the...

Phraseological resources contain complex semantic structures that are often difficult to represent in interoperable lexical models. Although digital phraseological dictionaries increasingly use hyperlinks, thematic indices, and semantic groupings to improve navigation, many of these relations remain implicit and are primarily intended for human interpretation. This study explores the...

This paper examines how discourse lexicography can be extended to the study of contemporary neologisms, particularly those emerging from major societal crises such as COVID-19, climate change, energy shortages, migration, inflation and the war in Ukraine. Traditional discourse lexicography has mainly focused on historically controversial terms and has typically relied on selected textual...

This paper addresses the challenge of prioritizing dictionary revisions in corpus-based lexicography, specifically for the Digital Dictionary of German (DWDS), which relies heavily on legacy content. Given the massive data volume in modern corpora, manual selection of relevant words for updating is no longer feasible. We investigate two methods for identifying โtrend wordsโโterms showing an...

We examine Czech emotion nouns as a structured semantic field, adopting a field-level perspective that complements entry-level lexicographic description. The analysis is based on 65 nouns denoting emotions and related affective states, selected with reference to psychological classifications and corpus frequency. It combines grammatical profiling, correspondence analysis, and a brief...

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...

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; Jakubรญฤek and Rundell, 2023). At the same time, the status of word senses remains one of the most debated issues in...

Like other lexicographic and language institutes in Europe, the Dutch Language Institute (Instituut voor de Nederlandse Taal, INT) is progressively integrating the compilation and management of its individual lexicographic products into a single shared lexicographic infrastructure with the aim of increasing internal efficiency and enable new forms of use, research and development (Depuydt,...

Identifying semantic neology remains a significant challenge for lexicography due to the gradual nature of meaning shifts. This study proposes a methodological framework for the automatic detection of verbal semantic neology in Catalan, leveraging recent advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Utilizing a general-language corpus spanning 2000-2021, this research employs a Large Language...

The Word Sketch is a core tool for modern corpus-based lexicography, providing a concise summary of a word's grammatical and collocational behavior. A longstanding limitation of standard Word Sketches is the lack of polysemy awareness: when a lexicographer examines a highly polysemous word such as bank, the resulting collocate lists mix financial terms like account and deposit with...

The diffusion of large language models (LLMs) has generated growing interest in their application to lexicographic practice, particularly for tasks such as the automatic generation of dictionary entries. Existing studies generally report promising results; however, they have primarily focused on major languages, most notably English, and rely on international, multilingual LLMs, such as...
