Exemplification in The Academic Dictionary of Contemporary Czech
Lišková, Michaela
The Academic Dictionary of Contemporary Czech has been prepared at the Institute of the Czech Language of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, v. v. i., since 2012. The conceptual principles govern general rules for creating the dictionary exemplification. This article deals with selected exemplification aspects, as the adequate length of the exemplification as a whole and the length of individual examples, typicality, example clarity and other content aspect. Special attention is paid to stereotypes concerning gender, age, ethnicity, nationality and religion.

On the exemplification of nouns in the Pralex Lexical Database
Koutová, Marta
The treatment of the individual database entries is focused principally on the exemplary part (exemplification), which in the Pralex LDB has a specifically defined structure (classification into exemplification subblocks) for each word class. With nouns, we have focused on a detailed description of the syntactic and semantic collocablity. What is important for us in the treatment is the selection of relevant corpus evidence, i.e. examples of the specific usage for the meanings pre-established in the Standard Czech Language (SSJČ), as well as capturing the evidence for new meanings not listed in that dictionary. We illustrate the nouns primarily by uncited evidence, i.e. exemplary collocations in the form of syntagmata, which represent the common collocations of the treated nouns; to a lesser extent we present also sentential citation evidence, i.e. with the citation of the source.
