XVI. MODULARITY OF LANGUAGE<br />

Besides lexicographical anisomorphism (cf. Sec VII) the lexicographer is obliged to<br />

always think in terms of the modules of language. Nine modules may be identified as:<br />

• morphological<br />

• lexicological<br />

• syntactic<br />

• semantic<br />

• pragmatical<br />

• textological<br />

• phonetic<br />

• phonological<br />

• graphological<br />

If the lexicographer can utilise intralinguistic interfaces like morphophonology,<br />

morphosyntax, morphosemantics, phonographonology, semanticopragmatics, and<br />

syntacticosemantics on the one hand, and extralinguistic interfaces such as<br />

sociolinguistics, gender linguistics, and psycholinguistics on the other hand, then his/her<br />

mindset is said to be finetuned to undertake lexicographical work.<br />
