ISHLL (W3)

ISHLL is a society of scholars interested in the history of the dictionary, making historical dictionaries, and historical lexicology. Membership is currently free.

ISHLL was established as a result of the first International Conference on Historical Lexicography and Lexicology, which took place in Leicester in 2002. The proceedings, Historical Dictionaries and Historical Dictionary Research, edited by Julie Coleman and Anne McDermott, were published by Niemeyer in 2004. These were followed by proceedings from Gargnano del Garda, near Brescia, Italy in 2004: Words and Dictionaries from the British Isles in Historical Perspective, edited by John Considine and Giovanni Iamartino and from Leiden in 2006: Yesterday's Words: Contemporary, Current and Future Lexicography, edited by Marijke Mooijaart and Marijke van der Wal.

Specialised Lexicography

Despite the great number and diversity of specialised dictionaries and terminologies, several major issues of specialised lexicography still remain unresolved. The articles in this volume intend to discuss and resolve such open questions and, at the same time, spawn further research.

Wunderlich, Dieter
Advances in the Theory of the Lexicon

The book investigates the interface structure of the lexicon from various perspectives, including typology and processing. It surveys work on verb classes, verb-noun similarities, semantic representations, concepts and constructions of polysynthetic languages, research on the processing of inflectional and derivational elements, and new work on inheritance-based network models. The book will be of interest to researchers and advanced students in all fields of linguistics and in the cognitive sciences.

Lexicography Then and Now
Selected Essays
Edited by Fredric S.F. Dolezal and Thomas B.I. Creamer
This volume represents the lexicographic facet of the multifaceted scholar, Professor Zgusta: The editorial goal was to arrange the articles according to topic and then to construct a continuous narrative of ideas from the collected works while preserving some of the distinctiveness of individual articles. Zgusta's work reminds us that within the most up-to-date description of language there is also historical depth. The reader of this book will enter a narrative of wide historical and textual scope while engaging an analysis of dictionaries and lexicographic principles.
