Writing the Blackwell Encyclopedic Dictionary of Speech

John Laver
Speech and Language Sciences
Queen Margaret University College


Thursday, 25 April, 16:15
Seminar Room, Building 17

I'll give an account of the lexicographic design principles, and of
some of the problems underlying the design decisions of this new
dictionary. It is much more ambitious than current dictionaries of
phonetics and linguistics, with some 10,000 headword entries compared
to a typical 2,000 to 3,000 entries. 4,000 entries are already
complete. It covers aspects of all disciplines with something
professional and scientific to contribute to the study of speech in
its broadest definition -- acoustics, anatomy, physiology, neurology,
pathology, semiotics, sociolinguistics, phonetics, speech science,
linguistics, psycholinguistics, speech technology and much else.
