• Resumen

  • New players in the field of online dictionaries, and more generally speaking, the specificities of the digital paradigm are challenging how publishers write, shape, label and market dictionaries. For long the question of the business model, distorted by the will to approach the web with products designed for print sales, has diverted publishers from the genuine advantages of lexicographical content to attract massive online audience. Moreover. the use of search engines in various languages by worldwide users is driving online dictionary publishing toward simultaneously a wider and a more accurate use of lexicography.
