	Antedating (lexicography) In lexicography, antedating is finding earlier citations of a particular term than those already known.James Gleick: Cyber-Neologoliferation. The Oxford English Dictionary meets Cyberspace', New York Times Magazine, 5 November 2006{{dubious, date=July 2014 Historical dictionaries such as the Oxford English Dictionary provide citations meant to show the evolution of every word, beginning with the earliest known usage. Antedating is a key task in lexicography and a popular sport. By indicating limitations of dictionaries, antedating raises important questions of the consistency of editorial policies, and of the exhaustiveness and accuracy of dictionary material. The issue has thus been addressed in several major studies as well as in hundreds of papers tracing individual words, some of which are by-products of historical or linguistic research. Similar activities are postdating (finding more recent evidence of words than is currently quoted) and interdating (intermediate evidence wh ...

	Antedated Contract An antedated contract is a contract whose date is in the past; formally, a contract where the effective date on the contract is prior to the date on which the contract is executed (written, signed, made effective). The term is from Latin ''ante'' meaning "before", and its antonym is '' postdate.'' Another example, in simpler terms, might be that if something antedates something else, it predates it, or is older than it. See antedated check for ante.

	Backdating In finance, options backdating is the practice of altering the date a stock option was granted, to a usually earlier (but sometimes later) date at which the underlying stock price was lower. This is a way of repricing options to make them more valuable when the option "strike price" (the fixed price at which the owner of the option can purchase stock) is fixed to the stock price at the date the option was granted. Cases of backdating employee stock options have drawn public and media attention. Stock options are often granted to the upper management of a corporation. While options backdating is not always illegal, it has been called "cheating the corporation in order to give the CEO more money than was authorized." According to a study by Erik Lie, a finance professor at the University of Iowa, more than 2,000 companies used options backdating in some form to reward their senior executives between 1996 and 2002. In an "uncanny number of cases," the "companies granted stock optio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
