Multimediale datatyper som leksikografisk merværdi

This article discusses multimedia data types in lexicography. On the basis of a literature review and a review of selected dictionaries and other types of lexicographic resources, we demonstrate how these data are currently used in lexicography. We also demonstrate how the full potential of multimedia data types could be utilized in lexicography and how existing lexicographic data types can be supplemented or replaced by these data and how multimedia data types seem to have a separate role on their own. The theoretical discus-sion also shows that such data not only support well-known lexicographic functions but also support experiential sub-functions as an added value.
