I consider we can work with both tools: dictionaries in books and with applications of dictionaries. For me both are important because if I don’t get a definition in one I could get in the other one, so that’s why I love this tools. Anyone is more or less.
Had fun going through the article and at the same time had a glance over the future dictionary. The dictionary would be much user friendly and is likely to co-op with us better. Research and analysis had always made things simpler with catchy features. And in this field too, we expect the same.Great job.Kudos!!!

Hello Michael, this is a great article. I agree with Santiago that it is more comfortably to use both the dictionaries and the online applications of dictionaries. I think that in future we will have even more benefits from the online tools that we can imagine now. I just want to congratulate you for this article!!!

Great article, thank you for such a concise round-up of themes at the conference. I think that UGC is also an interesting area, but right now it is very separate from traditional paper dictionaries and their online siblings, and it would be interesting to investigate the effect of UGC on official lexicography.
I am planning to go to the next conference, so may see you there!

Thanks Rachel. May see you at the next ‘eLEX’ conference, then: it’ll probably be in Tallinn (Estonia) in 2013. I’d expect UGC to be further up the agenda by then. At the moment, its best-known exponent is the Urban Dictionary – which is a long way from any other kind of lexicography. But our own Open Dictionary is much closer, and there’s a lot of thinking going on about other ways of crowd-sourcing lexical data. May be a topic for the blog a bit later…
