| Abstract: |
One of the important issues lexicographers need to address concerns the desired coverage of a dictionary's wordlist. This paper addresses the issue from a practical angle. We propose a method for comparing the contents of two resources and evaluating to what extent each can contribute to increase and improve the coverage of the other. Concretely, the project consists of comparing the contents of the English version of DiCoInfo (a dictionary of computing and Internet terms) with the appropriate entries of the Random House Webster's College Dictionary
(RHWCD). The entries missing in one resource are considered for inclusion in the other, and vice versa. The approach proves beneficial for both resources. Approximately 100 entries were added to DiCoInfo and over 500 lexical items or meanings are being included in the RHWCD. |
