Abstract

In the first section of this article, the basic principles and practices of cross-referencing are discussed mainly in reference to paper dictionaries. This is followed by a section on cross-referencing in electronic dictionaries. Although the principles underlying cross-references in paper and electronic dictionaries are the same, many, more sophisticated options, which the authors call 'true electronic features', are available to the lexicographer in the computer era. Cross-references are used on a much larger scale in electronic dictionaries since almost every word or element in a dictionary article can be cross-referenced to an address where the user can find more information. Cross-referencing in electronic dictionaries largely revolve around multiple uses of hyperlinking. In the final section, cross-referencing, or the lack thereof, will be discussed for African language dictionaries. Typical instances where cross-references are required in dictionaries for these languages will be outlined and the compilation of model entries will be attempted.
在纸质和电子词典中交叉引用非洲语言的原则和做法
本文第一部分主要以纸质词典为参照,讨论了交叉参考的基本原则和实践。接下来是电子词典中的交叉引用部分。尽管纸质词典和电子词典中相互引用的基本原则是相同的,但在计算机时代,词典编纂者可以使用许多更复杂的选择,这些选择被作者称为“真正的电子特征”。交叉引用在电子词典中的使用规模要大得多,因为词典文章中的几乎每个单词或元素都可以被交叉引用到一个地址,在那里用户可以找到更多的信息。电子词典中的交叉引用主要围绕着超链接的多种使用。在最后一节,交叉参考,或缺乏,将讨论非洲语言词典。将概述需要在这些语言的字典中进行交叉引用的典型实例,并尝试编译模型条目。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Lexicography was launched in 1988. Interdisciplinary as well as international, it is concerned with all aspects of lexicography, including issues of design, compilation and use, and with dictionaries of all languages, though the chief focus is on dictionaries of the major European languages - monolingual and bilingual, synchronic and diachronic, pedagogical and encyclopedic. The Journal recognizes the vital role of lexicographical theory and research, and of developments in related fields such as computational linguistics, and welcomes contributions in these areas.
