Resumen
Since the introduction of monolingual learners' dictionaries, about six decades ago, 1986-2006 was the period in the history of lexicography that saw the greatest number of new developments in this field. Some of the areas in which changes took place are the semi-bilingualization of learners' dictionaries, the incorporation of user-friendly features in learners' dictionaries, the creation of word corpora on which learners' dictionaries can be based, the development of software programs for dictionary writing and manipulation, the invention of electronic applications of lexicography data bases, the emergence of a highly competitive market for publishers of learners' dictionaries, the flowering of academic lexicography, such as university departments and courses, research in, and writing about the theory and practice of pedagogic lexicography, and last but not least, the multiplicity of neologisms. Is it conceivable that new developments will continue to evolve at such a breathtaking speed? What will dictionaries be like ten more Euralex conferences from now, in 2026?
