Register Labels in Bilingual Dictionaries

Presentation

This book examines several issues relating to the theory and practice of lexicographical labelling in monolingual and multilingual dictionaries, such as the nature of usage and register labels, labelling principles, the evolution and variation of labels, prospects for improvement of lexicographical practices, the use and correspondence of labels for non-standard and sub-standard terms, and design of an exhaustive and non-contradictory system of labels for this type of specific lexicon. The languages studied and analysed in the book are French, English, Italian, Russian, Bulgarian, Polish and Ukrainian.
