Publication at Faculty of Education |

Abstract

Historical lexicography is a basic discipline for all the sciences that deal with linguistically determined historical facts. The collected volume describes the ways that dictionaries open up access to "historical worlds of words," and reflects on the requirements, methods, and problems of historical lexicographic work.

At the same time, it offers an overview of the current research landscape of historical lexicography.
