Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive overview of the theoretical and practical dimensions of lexicography. It discusses key principles guiding dictionary compilation, such as word selection, definition methods, and user orientation. The paper also explores practical lexicographic activities including corpus analysis, entry design, and digital dictionary development. By highlighting the shift from traditional to modern lexicography, the article emphasizes the importance of technological tools and corpus-based resources in contemporary dictionary-making. Special attention is given to the role of lexicography in language education, translation, and terminology management.
