Lexicografie is the science and art of compiling, writing, and editing dictionaries. It involves the systematic collection and analysis of words, their meanings, pronunciations, and usage in various contexts. Lexicographers, the professionals who engage in this work, aim to create comprehensive and accurate references that help users understand language better. The process of lexicography includes defining words, providing examples of their use, and noting their grammatical properties. It can be divided into two main types: descriptive lexicography, which records how language is used in practice, and prescriptive lexicography, which sets rules for how language should be used.
