L'exemple lexicographique dans les dictionnaires français contemporains

These 20 articles in French on lexicographic examples are the fruits of the »Premières Journées allemandes des dictionnaires« conference organized in 2004 by the Institute of Applied Linguistics of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. The international lexicographic colloquium was the first to be devoted entirely to examples in dictionary entries and assembled over 20 experts on lexicography, among them J. Rey-Debove. Dictionary examples are complex lexicographic units posing problems that have received little scholarly attention so far. The present collection of articles will serve as an important reference for future studies on the subject.
