The need for constructing a lexicographical theory with a particular focus on specialised dictionaries for learners is well documented in recent publications. This will imply paying attention to, at least, four basic lexicographic categories: learners; the learner's situation; the learner's needs; dictionary assistance. In one or other way, these categories are analysed in this book, whose eleven chapters are grouped into three parts. Part 1 reflects on some of the main ideas defended by the function theory of lexicography, perhaps the theoretical framework that has paid more attention to specialised lexicography. Part 2 presents some proposals that have already being explored in the field of general learner's dictionary and must be incorporated into specialised metalexicography: cultural aspects; figurative meaning; the inclusion of grammatical information; the use of corpora. Part 3 introduces the state of play regarding specialised dictionaries in China and offers some ideas for coping with the proliferation of terminological glossaries in Internet. The book also describes Enrique Alcaraz's academic achievements, together with some personal anecdotes, and a personal short tribute to his memory.

El presente libro es un homenaje a la figura y a la vida académica de Enrique Alcaraz Varó y, muy especialmente, a su dedicación durante más de treinta años como docente e investigador de la Universidad de Alicante. Fue catedrático de Filología Inglesa y publicó innumerables trabajos de gran impacto, impartiendo sus enseñanzas por todo el mundo. El volumen está organizado en cuatro grandes bloques en los que puede sistematizarse el análisis y la investigación del profesor Alcaraz: la enseñanza y adquisición de lenguas; la literatura, cultura y crítica; la lingüística; y la traducción e interpretación. Toda su obra gira en torno a los valores más amplios de la lengua y sus relaciones con la sociedad, es decir, se centra en la interdisciplinariedad entre la lengua y cualquier hecho o fenómeno de la vida.
