The Role of Modern Lexicographic Research in Linguistics
Abstract
Lexicography is one of the key branches of linguistics that focuses on the systematic description of language units and their representation in dictionary form. In recent years, the rapid development of digital technologies has brought about profound transformations in this field. Traditional printed dictionaries are increasingly being replaced by electronic and interactive platforms, offering broader opportunities for users. In modern linguistics, lexicographic research is developing in close connection with corpus linguistics, computational linguistics, and artificial intelligence. This process is transforming lexicography from a purely descriptive discipline into a complex scientific field with analytical and technological dimensions. This article analyzes the role, development trends, and scientific-practical significance of lexicographic research in modern linguistics. Lexicography is examined not only as a practice of dictionary compilation but also as a comprehensive scientific discipline contributing to the in-depth study of language systems. Additionally, new lexicographic paradigms emerging on the basis of digital technologies and corpus linguistics are discussed.
