Abstract
The article "Ethical and Legal Aspects of Dictionaries in English
Lexicography" delves into the complex challenges faced by lexicographers in the digital
and multicultural era. It examines ethical responsibilities such as inclusivity, fairness, and
unbiased representation of diverse linguistic and cultural communities, alongside
contentious issues like the inclusion of offensive or controversial terms. The legal
dimensions are explored in the context of copyright protection, intellectual property rights, trademarks, and the rise of digital and user-generated dictionaries. The paper highlights the
evolving role of artificial intelligence and corpus linguistics in addressing these issues
while proposing best practices for ethical lexicography and robust legal frameworks. The
article serves as a vital reference for understanding the intersection of linguistic
scholarship, societal values, and legal constraints in
