Abstract

This evening I am grateful for the opportunity in this company of reviewing the state of the art of lexicography. It is an area of human skill and expertise which is not often discussed in public, and my hosts, the University of Strathclyde and Collins, are to be commended for offering this annual forum. Collins are also to be commended for their remarkable contribution to the practice of lexicography in recent years. Their bilingual dictionaries, as you must know, are market leaders, and Collins English Dictionary has established a new standard and style in monolingual lexicography.
