The Bloomsbury Companion to Lexicography offers the definitive guide to a key area of linguistic study. Each companion is a comprehensive reference resource featuring an overview of key topics, research areas, new directions and a manageable guide to beginning or developing research in the field.
Lexicography, as the practice of compiling dictionaries, has a long tradition that has been, for much of the time, largely independent of linguistics. The direct influence of linguistics on lexicography goes back around 50 years, though longer in the case of learners’ dictionaries. The present volume aims to reflect on the research that has been and is being done in lexicography and to point the way forward. It tackles, among other topics, the critique of dictionaries in the electronic medium, the future of historical lexicography in the electronic mode with special reference to the online Oxford English Dictionary, and e-lexicography in general.
Review
— (The Year’s Work in English Studies 2015-09-06)
I expect this book will be a strong catalyst for lexicographers of every stripe. It presents contemporary research, summarized for review at a readable scale, with the happy outcome that both specialists and new researchers may reach a clearly contextualized understanding of the trajectories of sub-fields other than their own.

Jackson’s Companion provides a current, comprehensive and highly accessible overview of the multi-faceted field of lexicography. Assuming little specialist knowledge, the book systematically sets out the key issues of the discipline to both students (its primary target audience) and experts. The topics of the 20 chapters have been well-chosen and the contributions carefully edited. I strongly recommend the Companion to everyone with an interest in lexicography!

It draws on the expertise of leading dictionary researchers and lexicographers from all over the world. Comprehensive and accessible, this will be an excellent resource for the students of lexicography.
