Despite the remarkable advances made in recent years to facilitate the lexicographer’s work of interpreting and synthesizing the complexity of language uncovered by corpora, an uncritical use of cutting-edge corpus tools and resources can instill a false sense of assurance. In this paper, authentic examples pertaining to wordlist use, collocation research and example selection that arose when compiling a real-world lexical database are discussed through the lens of problems that can easily slip through the cracks in e-lexicography. In doing so, we emphasize the importance of solid training and sound lexicographic judgment when using corpora, corpus tools and corpus-derived resources, and provide an opportunity to reflect on how e-lexicography can be further refined in the future.

穿越电子词典的裂缝

尽管近年来在促进词典编纂者解释和综合语料库发现的语言复杂性方面取得了显着进步，但对尖端语料库工具和资源的不加批判的使用可能会灌输一种虚假的保证感。在本文中，通过在电子词典中很容易漏掉的问题的视角，讨论了在编译现实世界的词汇数据库时出现的与词表使用、搭配研究和示例选择有关的真实示例。在这样做的过程中，我们强调了在使用语料库、语料库工具和语料库衍生资源时扎实的训练和良好的词典编纂判断的重要性，并提供了一个反思未来如何进一步完善电子词典编纂的机会。
