Linguists call the total word stock

Linguists call the total word stock of a language its lexicon. The linguist would define a dictionary as an objective record of the lexicon of a language.But the lexicon of English is open-ended. It is not even theoretically possible to record it all as a closed system;so the task of the dictionary maker is to determine, a selection of items from the lexicon that form a reasonable group for a purpose. Such a group is called a corpus. (This problem faces all dictionary makers.) There is a notion in America that a so-called unabridged dictionary records the unabridged lexicon, that is, all the words of the language. This is nonsense. Philip Gove, editor of the largest American dictionary now in print, wrote in his preface that it could have been many times larger, but it would have been impossible to bind.His predecessor, John P. Bethel, once told me that it would be possible to fill a dictionary the size of the, largest "unabridged"with names of compounds of carbon alone. How then does the lexicographer select his words? In the past there was only one way that offered any objectivity-making a file of citations from reading. All respectable dictionaries have done and still do this, though no one will ever again compile such a file as the great Oxford English Dictionary,which has extensive lists of citations for each word to establish its history.

语言学家叫总词库的语言它的全部词汇。语言学家将定义一本字典作为客观的记录语言的词典。但是，英语的词汇是不限成员名额。它不是甚至理论上可能要记录所有作为一个封闭的系统，所以词典的编辑者的任务是要确定，从词汇形成合理组为目的的项目选择。这样一组称为一个语料库。(此问题面临所有词典制造商)。还有一个在美国的概念，所谓的未删节的词典记录未删节的词汇，那就是，语言的所有单词。这是一派胡言。菲利普 · 戈夫，现在在打印，最大的美国字典编辑器在他的前言中写道: 本来大许多倍，但它已经无法绑定。他的前任，约翰体育伯特利曾经告诉我，可能填补一本字典大小的，最大的未"删节"与单独的碳的化合物的名称。词典编纂者如何然后选择他的话?在过去没有提供任何客观性制作引文从阅读文件的唯一方式。所有可敬词典已经并仍然这样做，虽然没有人会再编译为伟大的牛津英语词典，已建立其历史记录的每个字的引文的广泛列表的文件。
