Abstract

Advertisements for dictionaries usually comment on the amount of information given, but few if any give any notion to the layout of the product. What fonts are used, what is the paper quality, and binding? We assume that the layout of a dictionary is quite important for the dictionary user, and we are therefore convinced that the lexicographer (who has to know about the needs of the dictionary user) should be more in control of the layout of his dictionary. With today's desktop publishing tools at hand the gap between printer and editor has lost some of its width and this calls for increased cooperation between the two. In this article we will try to prove this by examining and criticising a number of existing dictionaries and by giving some clues as to how layout can be like. The latter is exemplified by extracts from a few new dictionaries.
