The general call that lexicography should address the potential needs of the dictionary users is amply reflected at least in the pedagogical dictionaries currently available in the market. But these dictionaries claim to be global in their response to this call. As a matter of fact, learners' dictionaries are supposed to be compiled taking into consideration the language needs and problems of specific L1 users. It is in this way that the future generation of learners' dictionaries will be able to satisfy their users at optimal level. The present study is case in point. The author has the unique privilege of having produced over twenty PhDs in English language & linguistics and twice as many successful M Phil scholars in the areas of linguistics and literature. He has taught literature and linguistics for more than thirty years at graduate and post-graduate levels in both public and private institutions of higher education in Pakistan.

The rapid global spread of the English language has serious linguistic, ideological, socio-cultural, political, and pedagogical implications as it creates both positive interactions and negative tensions between global and local forces. Accordingly, debate about issues such as the native/non-native divide, the politics of an international language, communication in a Lingua Franca, the choice of a model for ELT, and the link between English and identity(ies) has stimulated scholarly inquiry in an unprecedented way. The chapters in this volume revisit, challenge, and expand upon established arguments and positions regarding the politics, policies, pedagogies, and practices of English as an international language, as well as its sociolinguistic and socio-psychological complexities.

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.
