Perspectives in lexicography: Asia and beyond is a unique volume that contains current perspectives on the theory and practice of lexicography. Written by scholars and practitioners, it offers a balanced selection of revised papers from the recent 4th ASIALEX (Asian Association for Lexicography) Conference organized by the National University of Singapore and new papers that comprise the three perspectives: Asian, pedagogical and general. This volume will be of relevance not only to students and teachers of linguistics and lexicography but also to anyone who has a general interest in issues relating to the organization, codification and significance of words.
