  • Lexicography minimum solution of fuzzy relation inequalities applied to optimal control in p2p file sharing system
    International Journal of Machine Learning and Cybernetics, 2017
    Co-Authors: Xiao-peng Yang, Gengzhong Zheng, Xuegang Zhou
    Abstract:

    A peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing system can be reduced into a system of addition-min fuzzy relation inequalities. Concept of Lexicography minimum solution is introduced and applied to such system. It is found that the unique Lexicography minimum solution can be selected from the minimal solution set of the corresponding fuzzy relation inequalities. However it is difficult to find the minimal solution set which is probably infinite. In order to avoid such difficulty, we propose a so-called Circulation Algorithm to find the unique Lexicography minimum solution. The algorithm is developed step by step and illustrated by a numerical application example.

  • Lexicography minimum solution of max-min fuzzy relation inequalities
    2018 14th International Conference on Natural Computation Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (ICNC-FSKD), 2018
    Co-Authors: Xiao-peng Yang
    Abstract:

    Lexicography minimum solution is defined to describe a system of fuzzy relation inequality(FRI) with max-min composition is introduced in this paper. It can be applied to P2P file sharing system when we consider its priority rank of the terminals of the networking. The concepts and properties of Lexicography relation and Lexicography minimum solution are studied, and an algorithm for Lexicography minimum solution is proposed by constructing n programming problems, which is effective and flexible and illustrated by an application example.

  • Reflections on the Academic Status of Lexicography
    Lexikos, 2020
    Co-Authors: Sven Tarp
    Abstract:

    Two main camps have been formed with regard to the philosophical and academic status of Lexicography: one considering Lexicography an independent scientific discipline, and the other opposing such a scientific status. This article discusses some of the arguments from the sec- ond camp and argues that Lexicography should be considered an independent scientific discipline. The argumentation is based on the fact that the subject field of Lexicography is different from the subject fields of any other discipline, including linguistics. In this sense, the concept of a lexico- graphical work is broader than the more reduced concept of a dictionary. Lexicographical works, including dictionaries, are considered cultural artefacts and utility tools produced in order to meet punctual information needs detected in society. In this way, they have during the millenniums cov- ered almost all spheres of human activity and knowledge. The theory and science of Lexicography should not focus on the differences regarding the specific content of all these works, but on aspects that unite them and are common to all of them. In this regard, some of the core characteristics of Lexicography as an independent discipline are discussed together with its complex relation to other disciplines. Lexicographical theory is understood as a systematic set of statements about its subject field. Finally, the article argues that the fact that this theory may seem too abstract and difficult to some working lexicographers does not in itself invalidate its independent scientific status, although a close relation between theory and practice is recommended.

  • theory and practice of specialised online dictionaries Lexicography versus terminography
    2014
    Co-Authors: Pedro A Fuertesolivera, Sven Tarp
    Abstract:

    This book is an update on the Function Theory of Lexicography that offers convincing arguments on the independent academic status of Lexicography as well as its association with related disciplines. It discusses the topic of specialised e-Lexicography in full, from its theoretical foundations to its practical application in the design, compilation, and updating of high-quality specialised online dictionaries.

  • Lexicography and the relevance criterion
    Lexikos, 2012
    Co-Authors: Theo J D Bothma, Sven Tarp
    Abstract:

    Until recently, Lexicography and information science could rightly be considered two disciplines which had developed along parallel lines but with no or very little formal relation between them. Although the two disciplines developed in almost complete isolation from each other, during the last few years it has nevertheless become increasingly clear that they have a lot in common. This trend began within Lexicography which started viewing lexicographical works as a special kind of tool designed to be consulted in order to obtain information. Upon this basis, it has been suggested that Lexicography should be considered a part of information science and, hence, integrated into it (cf. e.g. Bergenholtz and Bothma 2012, Tarp 2009). It is evident that this integra- tion of two hitherto independent disciplines with long traditions of their own is not something to be solved overnight and neither can it be a unilateral process. This article will explore the concept of relevance in both disciplines in more detail and show, at the hand of examples from lexicographical tools, how the theoretical frameworks of both disci- plines can complement one another. This will be done within the framework of the function theory of Lexicography, as discussed in the many works of Tarp and Bergenholtz (e.g. Bergenholtz and Tarp 2002) and others, and relevance theory in information science as defined by Saracevic (1975, 1996), Cosijn and Ingwersen (2000) and others.

  • pedagogical Lexicography towards a new and strict typology corresponding to the present state of the art
    Lexikos, 2012
    Co-Authors: Sven Tarp
    Abstract:

    A frequent and well-known problem within Lexicography is the use of various terms to denominate the same phenomenon as well as the use of the same term to denominate various, completely different phenomena. Such a non-systematic terminology may lead to confusion in the discipline and hamper its theoretical and practical development. The problem is especially severe within so-called pedagogical Lexicography. A short panoramic review shows that especially the terms "pedagogical Lexicography/dictionaries", "didactic Lexicography/dictionaries", "school dictionaries" and "learners' dictionaries" are used with a lot of different meanings that vary from author to author, from country to country, from culture to culture. Although publishing houses could hardly be expected to use a strict terminology for their products, this should nevertheless be expected from theoretical Lexicography. In order to overcome the present confusion, it is therefore urgent to establish a typology that can be used as reference by scholars dealing theoretically with the subfield of pedagogical Lexicography. The article will first show the amazing variety of meanings addressed to the various terms in the theoretical literature. It will then approach the problem along two different lines: 1) establishing a clear definition of the terms "pedagogical", "didactic", "school" and "learner" in a lexicographical perspective, and 2) referring to the existing practice where the terms are frequently used in a much broader sense than in the theoretical literature. Based upon these considerations, a new and strict typology that corresponds to the present practice of pedagogical Lexicography will be presented. Keywords: pedagogical Lexicography; pedagogical dictionaries; learners' Lexicography; learners' dictionaries; school dictionaries; children's dictionaries; desk dictionaries; college dictionaries; dictionaries for foreign-language learners; dictionaries for mother-tongue learners; dictionaries for learners of scientific disciplines

  • specialised Lexicography 20 years in slow motion
    Iberica, 2012
    Co-Authors: Sven Tarp
    Abstract:

    This article discusses the development of specialised Lexicography during the past twenty years. It first looks at the practical products published in this period and indicates that although the number of specialised dictionaries, encyclopaedias and other lexicographical works have never been bigger, there is no noteworthy development in terms of quality; to this should be added that this branch of Lexicography has only to a limited degree exploited the possibilities created by the new electronic media, especially the Internet. The article then comments on the theoretical development of specialised Lexicography in the period in question. Although some positive steps have been taken, it points to an astonishing lack of interest in this type of theoretical work, a fact expressed in the relatively reduced number of publications that does not correspond to the growing flow of practical works published in the same period. Finally, the article mentions some of the possible reasons for this lack of interest in theory as well as the challenges in head of specialised Lexicography in this respect.

  • Corporate LSP intranet Lexicography
    2020
    Co-Authors: Henrik Køhler Simonsen
    Abstract:

    In this article, I argue that a dual-focus approach is necessary in corporate LSP Intranet Lexicography and that a far more active and holistic user approach is needed. The two primary parties involved in corporate LSP Intranet Lexicography are the individual users and the corporation seen as a lexicographic community. Both parties make heavy demands on the lexicographic artifact. Therefore, on the one hand, the individual users cannot and must not be reduced to inarticulate constant factors, and, on the other hand, a constantly changing corporate or organizational environment cannot and must not be regarded as a static implementation site of little lexicographic interest. I also argue that this dual-focus approach and the potential of a corporation's Intranet as a lexicographic medium require new theoretical and conceptual considerations on the development and design of Intranet-based lexicographic reference works. The lexicographic considerations and principles developed during the TeleLex project are discussed, and the article shows how the two lexicographic principles lexicographic data convergence and lexicographic democracy are implemented in practice by means of a number ofselected screenshots from the Intranet-based lexicographic knowledge management system TeleLex.

  • Lexicography: What is the business model?
    2017
    Co-Authors: Henrik Køhler Simonsen
    Abstract:

    Lexicography is a four thousand year old discipline and dictionaries have been an integral part of commerce and human cultural history for centuries. But Lexicography is also a business activity undertaken by individuals or companies with a view to generating profits or creatingvalue. And any discipline, movement, organization or company needs a plan of how it intends to create, deliver and capture cultural or monetary value. The analysis and discussion of the lexicographic business model uses a kaleidoscopic approach where the concept business model is seen and analyzed by means of the five lenses: strategy, core competencies, innovation, business understanding and organizational inertia. By means of these lenses, the paper explores the business model of Lexicography in Denmark, and it analyzes and discusses whether the Danish lexicographic industry understands the concept business model at all, and if so, to what extent it applies business model thinking. Furthermore, this paper discusses different categories of lexicographic business models, potential elements of a new lexicographic business model and finally it formulates six theses ona new, more viable lexicographic business model.

  • terminography and Lexicography a critical survey of dictionaries from a single specialised field
    HERMES - Journal of Language and Communication in Business, 2017
    Co-Authors: Henning Bergenholtz, Uwe Kaufmann
    Abstract:

    LSP lexicographers describe existing terms, they suggest a preferencefor specific terms, they standardise lexicographical definitions, andthey propose new terms, all according to the terminology of a specificsubject field. Terminographers describe existing terms, they suggest apreference for specific terms, they standardise definitions and proposenew terms, too. Based on this description of virtually identical objectsand aims specialised or LSP Lexicographyand terminography havebeen described as synonymous terms (Joly 1986, Bergenholtz 1995a,Wiegand 1995). This view is shared by many “LSP describers andstandardisers” who regard themselves as lexicographers. Termino-graphers on the other hand, especially those of the Vienna Schooltradition, have not been known to perceive a similar relation of syn-onymy. On the contrary, these terminographers stress the dissimilaritybetween LSP Lexicography and terminography, a dissimilarity whichthey regard not as a difference of degree but as a sweeping differencebetween two entirely different disciplines. When forming a contrast toterminography the general term Lexicography is usually preferred to91

  • What is Lexicography
    Lexikos, 2012
    Co-Authors: Henning Bergenholtz, Rufus H. Gouws
    Abstract:

    Within the field of Lexicography there are numerous differences when it comes to the interpretation of the term Lexicography and differences in determining the nature, extent and scope of this term. Although it is widely accepted that Lexicography consist of two components, i.e. theoretical Lexicography and the lexicographic practice, different definitions of Lexicography give no unambiguous reflection of this distinction and of the individual components. This paper looks at some prevailing diverse uses and interpretations of the word Lexicography. This is followed by proposals to ensure a transformative, unified and comprehensive interpretation of this concept.
