Lexicographica. Series Maior features monographs and edited volumes on the topics of lexicography and meta-lexicography. Works from the broader domain of lexicology are also included, provided they strengthen the theoretical, methodological and empirical basis of lexicography and meta-lexicography. The more than 160 books published in the series since its founding in 1984 clearly reflect the main themes and developments of the field. The publications focus on aspects of lexicography such as micro- and macrostructure, typology, history of the discipline, and application-oriented lexicographical documentation.

Die historische Lexikographie ist eine Grundlagendisziplin für alle Wissenschaften mit sprachlich verfassten historischen Gegenständen, und ihre Forschungsergebnisse bilden einen zentralen Beitrag zur historischen Semantik und Kulturwissenschaft. Der Sammelband führt vor, wie Wörterbücher historische ‚Wortwelten‘ erschließen, und reflektiert Voraussetzungen, Methoden und Probleme des historisch-lexikographischen Arbeitens. Er zeigt damit, welchen Beitrag die Lexikographie für die Historische Semantik zu leisten imstande ist. Neben grundlegenden konzeptionellen Beiträgen zu Methodik und Geschichte der Historischen Lexikographie werden Einblicke in aktuelle Fragen des Forschungsfeldes gegeben, die an konkrete Probleme aus der Wörterbucharbeit anknüpfen. Vertreten sind in dem Band die Sprachstadienwörterbüchern des Deutschen, die Neubearbeitung des Deutschen Wörterbuchs sowie das historische Spezialwörterbuch Deutsches Rechtswörterbuch vertreten. Ferner werden zwei in der Vorbereitung bzw. im Aufbau befindliche lexikographische Projekte vorgestellt. Der Band bietet damit einen guten Überblick über ein sich dynamisch entwickelndes Forschungsfeld.

The German Linguistic Studies Series is a comprehensive and outstanding forum in its field. It has borne the name of its subject in its title since the foundation of the series in the eighth decade of the last century.The series is comprehensive in the broad spectrum of topics covered (language levels, varieties, communication forms, epochs) in the range of research perspectives (theoretical and empirical studies, fundamental research and applications, interdisciplinarity with psychology, the social sciences etc.) and methodologies (the sole criterion is quality), in the rhythm of research (trends are perceived and also set, achievements are secured) and in the forms of presentation (monographs, textbooks, collected volumes, dictionaries).Professorial theses, outstanding doctoral theses, pioneering research findings from wider contexts, but also the surprising ‛stroke of genius’ set the standards for inclusion in the series.

This volume takes stock of the current state of the historical lexicography of German, sounding out the prospects for future research. It focuses on the ongoing development of dictionary projects in the digital age and the links being forged to other forms of engagement with words and dictionaries, as in literature and the museum, but also in relation to digital offerings, such as Wikipedia.
