Abstract:

The article presents different, often contradictory, opinions on the status and nature of lexicography and discusses,among others, the following issues: is lexicography practice, theory or both? Is lexicography a partof linguistics, applied linguistics, a sub-discipline of lexicology or applied lexicology, or a separate discipline?The main aim of the article is to show how lexicography should be understood both as practice andtheory, and that lexicography, whose object of study is a dictionary, is not a part of linguistics, whose objectof study is language. According to the author, metalexicography should be considered a separate scientificdiscipline, while lexicography as a whole, i.e. its practical and theoretical components, can be consideredan academic discipline.
