Abstract

This chapter reviews the recent history and the main features of Catalan normative lexicography, paying special attention to Pompeu Fabra’s work and to the academic lexicographical contributions made by the Institut d’Estudis Catalans, with a specific mention to the dictionary of the Academia Valenciana de la Llengua, which are broadly described and compared. Finally, the article ends with a consideration of the challenges that Catalan lexicography has yet to face.
