La mayoría de los conflictos humanos surge entre dos personas que intentan alcanzar una meta. Cuando dos personas interactúan tienen necesidades que pueden ser compartidas, excluyentes o tangenciales. En el primer caso es previsible esperar que se produzca una colaboración en la que la posición de dominio de uno de los participantes no tenga especial importancia. Si las metas son excluyentes, y especialmente si no comparten ningún aspecto, la utilización de la otra persona para alcanzarlas puede ser, en algún aspecto, crucial.Precisamente de ello trata este libro. De cómo muchas personas, casi todas, utilizan estrategias para conseguir que otras les ayuden, incluso a costa de abandonar sus propias metas.

Es muy probable que nos sintamos aturdidos, dudosos o descolocados si alguien, de pronto, nos pregunta qué es un diccionario. Peor aún si se nos pide que definamos una palabra cualquiera, aun de las más cotidianas. Normalmente, la gente cree, por ejemplo, que un diccionario es un libro formado por una serie de artículos situados exclusivamente en orden alfabético de las voces o frases con que comienzan. Más difícil le parece definir una palabra, por simple que sea. Si lo intenta, casi seguro que fracasa. Los lexicógrafos se convierten, así, en brujos de la tribu para muchos consultantes de cualquier obra lexicográfica. He aquí, pues, que el universo lexicográfico al alcance de cualquier usuario de la lengua puede devenir fácilmente en algo sumamente complejo.La presente obra tiene por objeto introducir al lector en los entresijos de una técnica científica llamada lexicografía y explicar qué es una obra lexicográfica (por ejemplo, un diccionario o una enciclopedia) y c
