Lexicographer
Lexicography is
divided into two separate but equally important groups:
·
Theoretical lexicography is the scholarly discipline of analyzing and
describing the semantic, syntagmatic and paradigmatic relationships
within the lexicon (vocabulary)
of a language,
developing theories of dictionary components and structures linking the data in
dictionaries, the needs for information by users in specific types of
situations, and how users may best access the data incorporated in printed and
electronic dictionaries. This is sometimes referred to as 'metalexicography'.
There is some
disagreement on the definition of lexicology,
as distinct from lexicography. Some use "lexicology" as a synonym for
theoretical lexicography; others use it to mean a branch of linguistics pertaining
to the inventory of words in a particular language.
A person
devoted to lexicography is called a lexicographer.
Xerox
Xerox
Corporation /ˈzɪərɒks/ (also
known as Xerox, stylized as xerox since 2008, and previously as XEROX from 1960 to 2008) is an $11 billion American
global corporation that sells document solutions and services, and document
technology products in more than 160 countries. Xerox is headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut (moved from Stamford, Connecticut in October 2007), though
its largest population of employees is based around Rochester, New York, the area in which the company was founded. The
company purchased Affiliated Computer Services for $6.4 billion in early 2010. As a large developed company, it is
consistently placed in the list of Fortune
500 companies. On Jan. 29, 2016, Xerox announced its plans to
separate into two independent, publicly traded companies – Xerox Corporation,
which will comprise the company’s Document Technology and Document Outsourcing
businesses, and Conduent Incorporated, a business process services company.
Xerox completed the separation of Conduent Incorporated (NYSE: CNDT) effective
on Dec. 31, 2016, creating two market-leading, publicly- traded companies.
Under the terms of the separation, on the distribution date of Dec. 31, 2016,
Xerox shareholders received one share of Conduent common stock for every five
shares of Xerox common stock they held as of the close of business on Dec. 15,
2016, the record date for the distribution. In connection with the spin-off,
Xerox received a cash transfer from Conduent of $1.8 billion, which it intends
to use, along with cash on hand, to retire approximately $2.0 billion in debt.
Xerox continues to trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “XRX”.
Kleenex
Kleenex is
a brand
name for a variety of paper-based products such as facial
tissue, bathroom
tissue, paper
towels, tampons, and diapers. Often used as a genericized trademark for facial tissue, especially in the United States, the name Kleenex is a registered trademark of Kimberly-Clark
Worldwide, Inc. Kleenex products are manufactured in 30 countries and sold in
more than 170 countries. Kleenex brands include Cottonelle, Huggies, and VIVA.
Tampon
A tampon is a mass of absorbent material, primarily used
as a feminine hygiene product. Historically, the word "tampon"
originated from the medieval French word "tampion", meaning a piece of cloth to stop a hole, a stamp, plug, or stopper. At
present, tampons are designed to be easily inserted into the vagina during menstruation and absorb the menstrual flow. However, using tampons may be difficult
or impossible for those with untreated vaginismus or an untreated imperforate
hymen. Several countries regulate tampons as medical devices. In
the United States, they are considered to be a Class II medical device by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They are sometimes used for hemostasis in surgery.

napkin, sanitary towel, sanitary pad, menstrual

absorb a flow of blood from the vagina.
These pads are
