Reseña del libro "Lexicography: the changing landscape" de Salonee Priya (ed.)

Lexicography. The Changing Landscape is a collection of selected papers, originally published in prestigious books and journals, which aims to present current research in the field of dictionary-making and lexicographical research in general. The book, edited by Salonee Priya, comprises 12 papers, or chapters, divided into two main sections. The papers selected constitute relevant contributions to the field of lexicography accounting for the achievements, challenges and unexpected possibilities that lexicographers come across. Therefore, the book is obviously addressed to lexicographers but also to people in general with a certain degree of expertise and interest in the hard task of dictionary-making and its technicalities. In her introduction to the book, Priya reflects on the fact that, although dictionaries are a common tool in everyday work, few people seem to realise exactly how much arduous work goes into the process of dictionary-making. The editor also provides the reader with an illuminating overview of the topic in which she reflects on lexicography and the value of dictionaries, and then goes on to deal briefly with the theme, motivation, research methods and outcome of each of the papers in the volume on an individual basis
