Lexicographica Series Maior

Two Decades of Lexicographica Series Maior

It was exactly 20 years ago that I was editing the proceedings of the LEXeter '83 Conference (subsequently called 1st EURALEX Congress) for publication as Volume 1 in Lexicographica Series Maior. In 1988, when the series had grown to 20 volumes, I called it a 'basic training library', a characterisation which is even more appropriate today, as there are now over 114 volumes representing several text genres: conference papers (24 volumes), new and reprinted dictionaries (15 volumes), other collections (13 volumes), bibliographies (5 volumes), festschriften (1 volume) and 57 monographs, some based on research dissertations, covering topics such as dictionary criticism, dictionary history, dictionary use and computational lexicography.

For more information on titles issued since Volume 95, consult the website of our publishers: Max Niemeyer Verlag (Tübingen)

As one of the seven editors of the series (executive for the current calendar year), I would be keen to hear from you if you have a manuscript to submit or know of a proposal for one.
