The term 'Lexicography' is associated with :
Answer: C
Lexicography is associated with the compilation of dictionaries.
The word comes from the Greek lexikon, a word-book, and graphein, to write. Lexicography is the art and practice of compiling dictionaries: collecting words, establishing their spellings, pronunciations, meanings and usage, and arranging them for reference. A compiler of dictionaries is a lexicographer.
Encyclopaedias, handbooks and directories are other kinds of reference source. An encyclopaedia explains subjects rather than words, a handbook gathers practical facts for a field, and a directory lists people, organisations or addresses, so none of their compilation is lexicography.
