Know about the book -

Lexicography in the Borderland between Knowledge and Non-Knowledge(English, Electronic book text, Tarp Sven) is written by Tarp Sven and published by De Gruyter. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 348497043X (ISBN 10) and 9783484970434 (ISBN 13).

The book contains a state-of-the-art summary of the theoretical discussions within the field of lexicography during the last decades. On this basis it presents and argues for a new general theory, called the function theory. It goes on to develop this theory in one single field, i.e. learners lexicography where it both formulates the basic elements of a general theory for learners' dictionaries as well as a number of specific theories for special subfields such as selection, meaning, semantic relations, morphology, syntactic properties and word combinations. It contains a big number of examples extracted from existing dictionaries which are discussed from the point of view of the theories formulated.
