Dictionaries and Lexicons

Michael worked on the COBUILD project in the early 1980s, before becoming Managing Editor of dictionaries at Longman, where he was responsible for running major projects. He edited two editions of the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (2nd edition 1987, 3rd edition 1995) and the original edition of the Longman Language Activator (1993). In the late 1990s he began working with Macmillan to develop a new range of learner’s dictionaries, which included the Macmillan English Dictionary for Advanced Learners (or MEDAL, 1st edition 2002, 2nd edition 2007), and he is still Editor-in-Chief of Macmillan Dictionaries. The first dictionary of its type to be created from scratch for almost 10 years, MEDAL won both the Duke of Edinburgh/English Speaking Union English Language Book Award (2002) and a British Council Innovation Award (2004). It is now best known in its online edition, which also features a regular blog and an ‘Open Dictionary‘ for entries contributed by users.  With Sue Atkins, Michael was Editorial Director of the project which created the Dante lexical database (2007-2010).

我觉得再十来年的发展，更快芯片+更大存储+人工智能，达到即时准确翻译的效果，大众就不需要再学习第二门语言了。只有研究语言的专家才会用到词典。
