This article provides an analysis of lexicography, its theoretical and practical foundations, and the main types of dictionaries. Lexicography plays a crucial role in the creation, systematization, and development of language resources. It not only defines word meanings, but also organizes lexical units in a structured and user-friendly form for various purposes such as language learning, translation, and terminological standardization. The paper examines general, special, bilingual, translation, encyclopedic, and electronic dictionaries, highlighting their functions, characteristics, and differences.
In addition, current challenges in modern lexicography are discussed, particularly those related to digitalization and the rapid evolution of language.
