The concept of 'dictionary usage'

Abstract

This article appears in a Festschrift dedicated to a renowned scholar who, among many other things, has distinguished himself by editing a number of proceedings from the Copenhagen International Symposia on Lexicography. In order to honour such a person, it is appropriate to take up a discussion on lexicography that was initiated twenty years ago in another Festschrift and immediately contested at a symposium in Essen, Germany.
