In this contribution, basic concepts and methods of computational lexicography are introduced as a practically oriented background tutorial to the other more specialised papers, concentrating on lexicon design for use in operational systems, particularly spoken language systems, and with reference to lexical representation rather than the acquisition of lexical information. There are therefore many areas of the large field of computational lexicography which are not touched (though some areas overlap), for example text mining for corpus-based lexicon construction, the construction of lexica for natural language processing (NLP) systems, automatic acquisition of syntactic or semantic information from texts, re-use of machine-readable dictionaries for new lexica, machine-readable dictionaries (MRDs) in general, or computer production of lexica for human use.
