lexicography
Lexicography is the practice of compiling, writing, and editing dictionaries. Lexicographers study the meaning, usage, and history of words in order to create accurate and comprehensive reference works.
Lexicography deals with the writing, editing, and compiling of dictionaries, including determining word definitions, pronunciation, usage, and etymology. It focuses on the study of words and their meanings within languages.
Descriptive lexicography creates dictionaries according to how people actually write and speak - usually based on the analysis of very large databases of real language (corpora). Prescriptive lexicography creates dictionaries on the basis of how people *should* write or speak - based on some idealized norms which may or may not be decreed by an institutional language authority such as the Académie Française. j0hn - lexicographer (descriptive)
