| Abstract: |
This article describes the computerized operations which benefitted the lexicographic staff compiling the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (published 1978), particularly the checking of the accuracy of the limited (2000-word) vocabulary used in definitions and the huge number of cross-references. The value of such a large semantically and grammatically coded machine-readable dictionary to the research community is briefly discussed. |
