The Department of Contemporary Lexicology and Lexicography of the CLI has been developing a new explanatory dictionary of contemporary Czech since 2012. It is intended as a mid-sized dictionary with an anticipated 120,000-150,000 lexical entries. The aim is to capture the lexicon of contemporary Czech (i.e. since 1945), including vocabulary used in general, official, semi-official and colloquial (i.e. non-public/unofficial) communication. The scope and manner of preparation of the forthcoming dictionary classify it as an academic dictionary, i.e. a category which includes dictionaries with sophisticated, standardised and structured explanations of word meanings, relatively rich sets of examples documenting typical usage of words, sufficiently elaborated description of basic semantic relationships, particularly synonyms and antonyms, and corresponding descriptions of the grammatical properties of words and description of their style, tense, spatial, frequency and pragmatics attributes (i.e. sentiment analysis).
The dictionary entries will be published gradually in alphabetical sections.
Academic Dictionary of Contemporary Czech Editorial Board
The Editorial Board of the Academic Dictionary of Contemporary Czech was established in 2018. Its mission is to provide a platform for consultations with the dictionary editors concerning changes to the conceptual principles of the dictionary and solutions to difficult questions that arise in the processing of specific entries, glean inspiration from new lexicographical solutions and in general improve the quality of the forthcoming Academic Dictionary of Contemporary Czech.
