Text Corpora and Multilingual Lexicography (Benjamins Current Topics)

Published in 2007 by John Benjamins Publishing, this volume was curated by Wolfgang Teubert as part of the Benjamins Current Topics series. It emerged from a period of intense academic interest in corpus linguistics, designed to address the evolving relationship between computational linguistics and traditional lexicography. The work reflects the shift toward empirical, data-driven approaches in language studies, moving beyond manual dictionary compilation toward the analysis of large-scale text corpora.

Wolfgang Teubert, a prominent figure in corpus linguistics, organized these texts to explore how multilingual lexical resources are constructed and utilized in a digital age. The design of the book adheres to the formal academic standards of the John Benjamins catalog, intended for a specialized audience of linguists and computational scientists. Upon its release, it was received as a significant contribution to the methodological dialogue regarding how language data can be synthesized across different linguistic landscapes.
