Abstract:

Learner's Lexicography has reached a high standard of quality in language description. However, it is still necessary to face an old and, at the same time, always new challenge: increasing the user-friendliness of learner's dictionaries. This work deals with how to improve learner’s dictionaries, focusing on the user profile and the user's needs. To achieve this aim, notions from Psycholinguistics, Contrastive Linguistic, Applied Linguistics, Lexicology and Cognitive Psychology were central for this research. This study covered the delimitation of the user profile and the relevance of their mo

Abstract:

The history is outlined of the origins and development, during the earlier twentieth century from the work of H. E. Palmer and A. S. Hornby, of a highly distinctive type of dictionary designed to meet the needs of non-native-speaking students of English. It was distinguished by its inclusion of various phonetic and grammatical matters previously almost entirely neglected. In doing so it made a major contribution to the remedying of deficiencies in our records of the English language in respect of the rhythmical characteristics of lexical items longer than the uncompounded word.

Abstract:

Bilingual and monolingual learner’s dictionaries provide information on the vocabulary a foreign language (FL) student should learn. Moreover, they specify grammatical information related to peculiar words, especially verbs. These dictionaries present, specifically, the syntactic contents in a more explicit way by means of construction indications and in a more implicit way by means of examples, or both. Starting from the English learner’s dictionaries, it is shown what lexicographical solutions the dictionaries analyzed in this paper adopt to transmit the syntactic information to the user. Th

Abstract:

Research into dictionary use does not have a long history. Although publishers recognised in the 1960s that ‘dictionaries should be designed with a special set of users in mind’ (Householder 1967: 279) there were extremely few empirical user studies before the 1980s – Welker's most recent survey (2010) lists only six. The subsequent surge of interest in this field was fuelled by big changes to dictionary content and design in the 1980s and 1990s, changes that were particularly evident in dictionaries for learners of English as a foreign language, conventionally known as ‘learners’ dictionaries

These word pairs are challenging for learners of English as a Foreign Language, especially when their L1 is a Romance language.

The lost income will cause a tax increase leading to the payment inability and to an overall worsening of the economy. The last result is what makes the phenomenon so important.

Writing by learners of Japanese as a foreign language often contains words that do not fit the style of their context. One possible reason for this is the lack of information on word connotation and usage labels in existing dictionaries. The present study examines the current state of connotational information and register labels in Japanese learner’s dictionaries, Japanese language dictionaries and dictionaries of synonyms, and proposes a possible technique for analysing the words’ descriptions. The study reveals that Japanese learner’s dictionaries and dictionaries for Japanese native speake

Abstract:

   For language learners, the transition from classroom to immersion is an exhausting and difficult one. Not least because of how language is used differently “in the real world” to how it is taught in classrooms. There are many “insider” dictionaries of language but few dictionaries which take a closer look at the important words and explain them in ways that learners can understand. Natural semantic metalanguage (NSM)’s way of defining culturally important terms and combining them with cultural scripts gives us an opportunity to go beyond the standard realm of definitions a

AbstractThe following article exemplarily analyses and types different kinds of interference in the corpus-based bilingual special dictionary ‘KOLLEX’. Based on selected figures the first section shortly overviews this German-Hungarian learner’s dictionary. Then, based on different aspects of the dictionary’s concept, the next chapter presents the concrete realisation of the conception’s focus on the language learner. Though ‘KOLLEX’ is designed for active language production, due to its German register of more than 10.000 cotextpartners it can be used as an appropriate translation tool as wel

Abstract:

Abstract Although the middle construction has attracted significant attention from syntacticians, its identity still remains controversial and it is not treated as a separate grammatical category in any English learner’s dictionary. This article, based on the data collected from three English learner’s dictionaries, investigates the middle construction in terms of its syntactic and semantic properties and the constraints on its use. It shows that the three learner’s dictionaries treat the middle construction in inconsistent and problematic manners. The middle use of a verb is not distinguished

Abstract:

With the growing numbers of Chinese language learners in Malaysia, Chinese language is getting more and more important. The importance and usage of Chinese learner’s dictionaries have also been revealed. However, there are still room for improvement on the development of Chinese learner’s dictionaries in Malaysia. Therefore, this article compared and analyzed the arrangement of structure and definition of four existing Chinese learner’s dictionaries in Malaysia. The comparative analysis in this article were divided into two parts: 1) comparison and analysis of the structural arrangement, and 2

<em>This exploratory action research examines the impact of student-created visual dictionaries on vocabulary retention and learner autonomy among lower secondary EFL learners. In the exploratory phase, data was collected on how students currently recorded and recalled new vocabulary. The findings indicated limited use of personalized strategies and poor long-term retention. In the action phase, students created individualized visual dictionaries using drawings and example sentences for newly learned words over five weeks. The intervention led to improved vocabulary recall scores and increased

Abstract:

The verb is one of the most perplexing features for learners of BIPA (Bahasa Indonesia bagi Penutur Asing “Indonesian for foreign speakers”). Indonesian verbs are particularly rich in affixes that correspond to their numerous senses. The learners find it challenging to use verbs with the appropriate affixes in a sentence structure. To function effectively as a learning tool, dictionaries must provide morphological and grammatical information. Frame semantics theory is used in this research to determine a verb’s meaning based on its semantic context and frame. The verb is described by identifyi

Concurrently, the Academic Vocabulary List (AVL), developed by Gardner and Davies, underscores the need for representative academic language in dictionaries. The resea

Abstract:

Learners’ dictionaries are often intended to assist students with distinct proficiency levels. However, few studies have shown how dictionaries with different intended users were compared. This paper aimed to compare and contrast adjective clauses in -er suffix occupation definitions in two online dictionaries. Data, consisting of 33 occupation words with the suffix -er, such as ‘barber’ and ‘waiter’, were collected from the online Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (LDOCE) and the online Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary (OALD) using purposive sampling. The data were analysed using
