NomVallex is a valency lexicon of Czech nouns and adjectives, aimed primarily at describing the valency of individual noun and adjectival derivational categories in response to their insufficient theoretical description and coverage in lexical resources. Annotation has proceeded from the more extensively studied derivational categories (deverbal nouns and adjectives) through deadjectival nouns...

This study investigates word-formation chains, i.e. sequences of derivationally related words in which each derivative serves as the base for the next. Due to their rich morphemic structure, such chains are particularly complex in Slavic languages. Their analysis is relevant for understanding word-formation and semantic potential, morphotactics, and lexicographic criteria for vocabulary...

This study presents a graph-based workflow for extending the lexicographic description of Japanese adjectives with large language model (LLM) relation candidates and expert review. JMdict provides the principal dictionary evidence. Lexical-item nodes carry written form, reading, grammatical category, English glosses, learner information, and provenance; relations record a proposed type...

In recent years, several lexicographic studies have addressed the question of which lexicographic processes can effectively make use of LLMs (De Schryver, 2023; Lew, 2024; McKean & Fitzgerald, 2024). Some studies are dedicated specifically to Slovenian lexicography (Gantar, 2024; Arhar Holdt et al., 2025), including Meterc & Jakop (2025) who have examined the use of LLMs in the compilation of...

Background and aim
Large language models generate fluent, dictionary-like and analytically plausible text, yet their linguistic knowledge is encoded implicitly in numerical representations rather than as inspectable lexical entries, paradigms, feature structures or constructions. Classical annotation frameworks make categories explicit, but often reduce complex linguistic behaviour to...

Describing and classifying colloquial constructions that contribute to non-propositional meaning in discourse poses a persistent challenge for lexicography, particularly where interpretation depends on contextual inference rather than on stable form–meaning correspondences. Drawing on a 165-million-token corpus of Reddit posts and comments representing contemporary casual written English...

Objective
This study evaluates whether word-prevalence data can improve the selection and review of dictionary headword candidates. It focuses on Slovenian lemmata that combine higher corpus frequency with lower prevalence, because this mismatch may signal problems that frequency alone does not reveal.
Background and data
Word prevalence is the percentage of a population that...

We introduce and describe the DICI-A, a learner dictionary of Italian collocations which is the output of a two-year project funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research. In the Italian lexicographic landscape, three dictionaries of collocations have been published in the last fifteen years (Lo Cascio, 2013; Tiberii, 2012; Urzì, 2009). However, none of the three has two...

This paper describes the development of the New Lakota Dictionary, a corpus-based dictionary of Lakota that, with 48,000 entries, is, to our knowledge, currently the largest dictionary of an Indigenous language of North America. Drawing on more than three decades of lexicographic work, we discuss the methodological and practical challenges of compiling a comprehensive dictionary for a...

This paper examines the challenges of assigning VerbNet semantic classes to Croatian verb senses, based on data from the Croatian verb lexicon Verbion. The lexicon provides a multi-level description of the 500 most frequent verbs in Croatian, integrating lexical, semantic, syntactic, and morphological information. Verb senses are classified into semantic classes according to WordNet and...

The lexicographic treatment of word-formation categories that lie at the boundary between inflection and derivation remains an unresolved issue. In this paper, we introduce the process of compiling DeriVallex, a valency lexicon containing automatically generated valency frames, which provides information on the valency behavior of Czech noun and adjectival deverbal derivatives being halfway...
