The Future of Linguistics and Lexicographers: Will there be Lexicographers in the Year 3000?
Abstract Lexicology has been posed as a science ever since the 18th century. In the article Grammaire from Diderot and D’Alembert’s Encyclopedia, lexicology is described as the explanation of three aspects of knowledge about each of the words from a language: its Material, its Value, and its Etymology.

“We Can No Longer Live by the Domostroi”: The Riddles of Anna Nikanorovna Paskhalova‐Mordovtseva
Abstract This article analyzes the rebuses (picture riddles) of Anna Nikanorovna Paskhalova‐Mordovtseva. It argues that despite their seemingly modest nature as artefacts of everyday leisure, Mordovtseva used these puzzles to make radical claims and assert herself as a public intellectual.

A lexicographer is not always a linguist. And a linguist is not a natural expert or semi-expert of lexicography. This is also the case for such lexicologists who see themselves as theoretical lexicographers. More important than such relationships are the

Lexicographic palindromic products
Summary: A graph \(G\) on \(n\) vertices is \textit{palindromic} if there is a vertex-labeling bijection \(f : V(G) \rightarrow \{1, 2, \dots, n\}\) with the property that for any edge \(vw \in E(G)\), there is an edge \(xy \in E(G)\) for which \(f(x) = n - f(v) + 1\) and \(f(y) = n - f(w) + 1\).

How Well Can Words Capture Facial Appearance? A Cross‐Linguistic Exploration
Abstract When describing faces, people often struggle with verbalizing facial features. Free descriptions seem to focus predominantly on aspects of faces that are inferred, for example, psychological traits, age, attractiveness, and so on, whereas facial features themselves are often described in a limited and imprecise fashion.

Lexicographic decomposition of preferences
Abstract The Ordinal Lexicographic Model, based on the lexicographic sum of relations, provides an explanation to intransitivities in preferences as shifts in choice criteria. The lexicographic sum R ⊕ R ′ between two preferences R and R′ on a same finite set X is defined as follows: x is preferred to y with respect to R ⊕ R ′ when ...

The Indian English (IndE) complaint tradition in the 21st century has shifted from colonial to postcolonial in that IndE usage is now targeted ...

Lexicographic effect algebras [PDF]
In the paper we investigate a class of effect algebras which can be represented in the form of the lexicographic product $Γ(H\lex G,(u,0))$, where $(H,u)$ is an Abelian unital po-group and $G$ is an Abelian directed po-group. We study algebraic conditions when an effect algebra is of this form. Fixing a unital po-group $(H,u)$, the category of strong $(

The SIR Model in a Moving Population: Propagation of Infection and Herd Immunity
ABSTRACT In a collection of particles performing independent random walks on Zd$\mathbb {Z}^d$ we study the spread of an infection with SIR dynamics. Susceptible particles become infected when they meet an infected particle. Infected particles heal and are removed at rate ν$\nu$.
