LEXICOGRAPHY: FROM ART TO SCIENCE (PARADIGMATIC PERSPECTIVE)

Abstract

The paper brings to the fore an alternative paradigmatic view on lexicography in its development from art of making dictionaries to a groundbreaking scientific area. The core of discussion concerns the theoretical and methodological principles of metalexicographical information coding adopted by various lexicographical theories and traditions. The research identifies four lexicographical paradigms and interprets the latter as an intra-disciplinary framework bridging artificial intelligence and technologies with a praxis-derived theory at the intersection of cognitive and information sciences.
