Before and afterwords. The dictionary we know as book of words is getting scarcer in print yet abundant in digital. The process is not the same everywhere and to all, for example as print sales drop and go e-book in the USA, e-dictionary in Japan or online in Germany (for free) or Denmark (per fee), they grow in the Netherlands alongside apps or in Brazil as part of social and economic change. Meanwhile dictionaries, or rather lexicographic content, also increasingly blend in broader natural language processing settings and can lose their individual identity and disappear in machine translation tools, language learning software, word processors, search engines, etc. The main trends may be seen as: • from print to digital • from tangible to virtual (to invisible) • from a dictionary for life to many simultaneously • from one-size-fits-all to customized and personalized • from a language product to (multi-)language services • from paid to non-paid (to paid) • from private(ly-owned) to public(ly-funded/shared) • from (passive) reader to (interactive) user • from old to young • from content to technology • from words (to phrases and structures) to language • from dictionaries to lexicography/lexicology As advances in linguistics and technology shift the attention from single words to complete texts (written or oral) and affect the lexicographic creation, production, display, accessing and processing, will changes in usage, users and their needs – and matching them – evolve the dictionary from a traditional word product to futuristic full-language solutions embedded in new forms and mediums?
