Keywords: lexicographer’s task situation; metalexicography; dictionary description of a language as a task; situational factors in lexicography; automatic dictionary analysis
Summary/Abstract: The author invokes Tadeusz Tomaszewski’s concept of a situation and tries to find out whether and how an analysis of the task situation involved in working on a dictionary can be used in metalexicographic studies. Research has shown that similarities in style between dictionaries, observed not only during reading but also discovered by automatic text analysis tools, are quite well correlated with similarities between the factors that make up the task situations of lexicographers.
