The Dictionary Writing System Lexit and its Application in Bilingual Lexicography

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents LexIt — a web-based Dictionary Writing System designed for the creation and enlargement of dictionaries. A wide range of dictionaries — monolingual, specialised, multilingual, thesauri, can be configured with the system, as it enables users to model, copy, and save templates describing the structure of any dictionary. The paper describes a model for a bilingual dictionary containing phonetic, grammatical, stylistic, semantic and collocational information and its configuration within LexIt. A bilingual dictionary is chosen for a demonstration, as its entries have a complex structure that includes various elements reflecting the correspondences between source and target languages.
