Introducción a la lexicografía en español. Funciones y aplicaciones ofrece una descripción innovativa de la historia lexicográfica en español, una crítica constructiva de los diccionarios existentes y una visión transformativa y optimista de la disciplina relacionada con las nuevas tecnologías.

Basado en la teoría funcional de la lexicografía con un enfoque centrado en el usuario y sus necesidades de información, el libro contribuirá, sin duda, al "renacimiento" de la lexicografía en español. Su punto de partida es la detección de esas necesidades, la generación de datos que ayuden a resolverlas y la presentación de esos datos a los usuarios mediante un diseño de uso intuitivo.

Características principales:

Con su enfoque tanto descriptivo como transformativo, este libro es un recurso indispensable para cualquier investigador, profesor o estudiante de grado y posgrado que busque conocimientos más profundos de los diccionarios y productos similares en español.

Introducción a la lexicografía en español: Funciones y aplicaciones offers an innovative description of the history of Spanish lexicography, a constructive criticism of existing dictionaries, and a transformative and optimistic view of the discipline in the context of new technologies.

Based on the Function Theory of Lexicography with an approach centred on the users and their information needs, the book will undoubtedly contribute to the re-awakening of Spanish lexicography. Its starting point is the detection of users’ information needs, the generation of data to help solve them, and the presentation of these data to users by means of a design that allows for intuitive use.

Main features:

· Establishes fundamental concepts of lexicography;

· Presents the main trends in lexicography in Spanish;

· Explains the different phases in conducting a lexicographic project;

· Discusses the most recent compilation methods and techniques;

· Proposes solutions to old and new problems.

With its descriptive and transformative approach, this book is an indispensable resource for any researcher, teacher, and undergraduate or graduate student seeking a deeper understanding of dictionaries and similar products in Spanish.

This book is the first comprehensive monograph on the Function Theory of Lexicography, which originated at the Aarhus School of Business (Aarhus University). Function Theory considers dictionaries to be tools that are constructed for assisting specific users with punctual needs in specific usage situations, e.g. communicative-oriented situations and cognitive-oriented situations. The book''s main focus is on defending the independent academic status of lexicography and its corollary: The process of designing, compiling and updating (specialised) online dictionaries needs a theoretical framework that addresses general and specific aspects. The former are common to all types of information tools, the latter are mainly dependent on the media for which the information tool is constructed and their specific target users. This books offers both aspects and moves from the highest level of abstraction to very detailed aspects of lexicographic work, e.g. how to convert an originally-conceived polyfunctional online dictionary into several monofunctional usage-based ones.The book illustrates that the theory and the methodology currently used by advocates of the Function Theory of Lexicography offers better results than other approaches and therefore makes its case for proposing the Function Theory for terminological/terminographical work.

The book contains a state-of-the-art summary of the theoretical discussions within the field of lexicography during the last decades. On this basis it presents and argues for a new general theory, called the function theory. It goes on to develop this theory in one single field, i.e. learners lexicography where it both formulates the basic elements of a general theory for learners’ dictionaries as well as a number of specific theories for special subfields such as selection, meaning, semantic relations, morphology, syntactic properties and word combinations. It contains a big number of examples extracted from existing dictionaries which are discussed from the point of view of the theories formulated.
