This study examined lookup performance and perceived usability in the Electronic Pedagogical Dictionary of Modern Greek (grdictionary.gr) among 306 lower-secondary students from seven schools in Western Greece. Students completed a structured lookup task, a multidimensional usability questionnaire, and open-ended feedback. The usability inventory supported four dimensions: Content, Organisation, Navigation, and Search and Access. Accuracy varied across linguistic skills, with grammar-related tasks substantially more difficult than orthography, expressions, and literal/metaphorical usage. Accuracy increased with grade, while prior e-dictionary experience was associated with grammar performance. Perceived usability predicted accuracy beyond learner characteristics; Organisation was the only robust positive subscale predictor. Feedback was predominantly positive but identified feature requests, information-density concerns, design issues, scrolling burden, multimedia support, and occasional AI-like expectations. Findings highlight the importance of learner competence, task demands, and information organisation.","PeriodicalId":45657,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Lexicography","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149124134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For value-loaded terminology in particular, lexical definitions are inevitably mediated by ideology and conflicting social standpoints. This paper examines how power and ideology influence the production of the meanings of core LGBTQ-related entries in Wiktionary, the largest collaborative, user-generated online dictionary. Through a critical analysis of the relevant entry pages, edit pages, and talk pages, the study seeks to identify what is being continuously contested surrounding the definition writing processes and what semiotic strategies and power plays are used during the negotiation of word meanings in Wiktionary. It finds that social meanings of the words are more contentious than the other four meanings, i.e., conceptual, connotative, collocative and pragmatic meanings, which suggests that contributors prioritize issues such as social attitudes, identity positioning, and ideological implications over purely referential accuracy. To compete for their intended meanings and legitimize their interpretations, Wiktionary contributors employ various discursive strategies and draw on semiotic technologies that Wiktionary affords. The findings demonstrate that collaborative dictionaries are not neutral repositories of linguistic facts but sites of semiotic struggle, where power and competing ideologies shape and reshape definitions. The study provides a powerful methodological lens to explore the politics of meaning-making practices in digital bottom-up lexicography and sheds light on the complex, dynamic interplay between meaning, power, and ideology.","PeriodicalId":45657,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Lexicography","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149210830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While diachronic lexicography usually distinguishes homonymy as the convergence of etymologically unrelated lexical forms, and polysemy as the divergence of meanings within a single lexical item, LLMs may rely primarily on synchronic associations when generating examples of ambiguous words. This study investigates how three publicly available LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) retrieve lexically ambiguous items under three prompt conditions: a neutral ambiguity prompt, a prompt requesting homonyms without etymological constraints, and a prompt explicitly requiring etymologically unrelated homonyms. Retrieved items were manually classified as either homonymous or polysemous through verification against established etymological sources. The results show that neutral prompts predominantly yielded polysemous items, while increasingly restrictive prompts produced progressively higher proportions of homonyms. However, substantial differences emerged across models, and even under explicit diachronic constraints some outputs reflected semantic extension, unsupported etymological reasoning, or plausible but historically unattested forms. The findings suggest that ambiguity retrieval in LLMs is highly sensitive to prompt formulation and that models tend to operationalize lexical ambiguity primarily in synchronic terms unless explicitly instructed otherwise. The study demonstrates that prompt design plays a crucial role in the retrieval of homonyms in lexicographic applications of LLMs.","PeriodicalId":45657,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Lexicography","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148899106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reviewing the results of a global survey of 144 practitioners working across 126 languages, we demonstrate that dictionary-making is increasingly collaborative, ethical and reflexive, and embedded in wider networks of language revitalization, education, archives, and place-based knowledge. The responses show that dictionaries are no longer understood primarily as static reference products, but as dynamic social processes shaped by relationships among speakers, learners, researchers, dialects, technologies, and communities. These findings are situated within broader shifts from colonial and authoritative models of lexicography toward critical, decolonial, and participatory approaches. We argue, therefore, that relational lexicography provides a useful conceptual framework for conceptualizing dictionary-making as a socially situated, culturally accountable, and future-oriented practice, while exploring its practical, ethical, institutional, and theoretical implications for contemporary language documentation and revitalization in community-centred and collaborative lexicographic projects worldwide today.","PeriodicalId":45657,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Lexicography","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148899109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One promising application is the generation of dictionary-style examples, but it remains unclear to what extent ChatGPT-generated English sentences can be considered good dictionary examples, or how such illustrative examples can be effectively evaluated. This study presents an improved evaluation framework and a corresponding prototype, extending established criteria for good dictionary examples (Kilgarriff et al., 2008). Designed to assess the linguistic and pedagogical quality of illustrative example sentences, the framework enables systematic comparison between ChatGPT outputs generated via zero-shot prompting and human-curated examples from three authoritative English learner’s dictionaries (ELDs). The proposed framework is multi-dimensional, incorporating key parameters such as completeness, salience, intelligibility, informativeness, typicality, diversity, complexity, and sensitivity. These dimensions align with both lexicographic standards and pedagogical priorities, offering an innovative model for evaluating example sentence quality in language education. Findings reveal that while ELD examples generally demonstrate high standards, they do not consistently represent optimal performance across all dimensions. ChatGPT-generated examples, when assessed using the framework, show promising potential for scalable, quality-controlled use of dictionary example sentences. The prototype operationalises these insights, supporting principled selection and refinement of GenAI outputs for learner-facing applications.","PeriodicalId":45657,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Lexicography","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149124133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
