Theory and practice of dictionary example

Job ID: 36729940

Budget: €750 – €1,500 EUR

I have wroten a rather specialised monography on lexicography (examples dictionaries, its theoretical status, descriptions, types, functions, example and meaning, example and grammar, example and collocations, example and pragmatics...). It has about 125,788 words (700224 characters). It was accepted by the publisher (De Gruyter), but it has to be reviewed by native speaker (Englis UK). I need a proofreader that is familiar with lexicographical terminology. Some terms in English has to be left (e.g., article instead of entry, item instead of indication, which are normal terms in English) because the publishers want to be faithful to a German author, who decided which have to be the terms in English. The theory of this work is based in that of this German author and the publishers (who published the German author's works) are quite attached to his terminology.
