Abstract

Introduction a and Cexicography in Europe hasandlong manydistinguished tradition over many centuries for languages. Against this background, there have been significant developments in recent times in terms of its professional consolidation, theoretical modelbuilding, and organizational framework. I have been interested in and involved with some of these and, since my survey of Linguistics in Western Europe (Hartmann 1972) , have made a number of contributions to international discussions about such topics as lexicographic conferences (Hartmann 1990), general lexicography in Europe (Hartmann 1993), lexicographic training (Hartmann 1986b and 1992), and the use of dictionaries (Hartmann 1999a). In this paper, which is based on material presented at the 12th DSNA meeting at Berkeley in May 1999, I should like to provide a glimpse of what is going on in Europe in theoretical lexicography (for which I use the term "dictionary research") in five of its main specialisms: dictionary history, dictionary typology, dictionary criticism, dictionary use, and dictionary structure. At the end, I will ask what some of the implications of all this may be for our understanding of dictionaries and other reference works, as well as their compilers and users.
