Introduction

We will initially be concerned with a distinction between three ways of looking at dictionaries:

1. lexicography,
2. lexicology,
3. lexicon theory.

Tasks:

1. Search the web for definitions of "lexicography", "lexicology", "lexicon theory".
2. Find as many substantively different definitions of "lexicon" as possible.
3. Make a list of dictionaries on the web.
4. Classify these dictionaries in terms of their functions, their content, and their structure.

The results should be noted in a properly formatted text document (either MS-Word or StarOffice), following the following document model:

Document object Style properties

Title TITLE

Author SUBTITLE

Section heading HEADING1

Text TEXTBODY

Section heading HEADING2
