A Bibliometric Keyword Analysis on Lexicography

This study aims to analyse the research contributions in the Lexikos journal during 1991-2022. In the first step, the authors manually collected and classified the necessary data. In the next step, the collected data were analysed based on the keywords of the abstracts and titles. Then, a diachronic approach was taken to study the number of pages, authors, types of issues, departments, universities, and even the countries that contributed to this journal during the mentioned years. The findings indicated that keywords such as the dictionary, lexicography, language, English, and Afrikan had a high frequency in article keywords and titles. However, the diachronic study of these keywords indicated a boost in the case of investigations regarding online and corpus-based lexicography, because online dictionaries offer convenient and up-to-date information and corpus studies facilitate extensive data analysis. On the other hand, African universities and language departments mainly contributed to this journal.
