Lexicon
Lexicon is published once a year by the Iwasaki Linguistic Circle in Tokyo, Japan, and includes articles on English (learner’s) dictionaries. Here you can find scanned issues of the journal starting with No. 25 from 1995, both of each entire issue or of any specific article.
The initial digitization of the print copies of Lexicon (1995-2009) was carried out by Gilles-Maurice de Schryver, from Ghent University, who has graciously provided it for online publication on the Globalex website. Additional scanning of later issues of Lexicon (2010-2020) was done by Teja Goli, from Jozef Stefan Institute, as part of the ELEXIS project. The most recent issues of Lexicon (since 2021) were received directly in PDF format, as published.
