This paper describes the results of an empirical investigation carried out within the project Lessico Multilingue dei Beni Culturali (LBC), whose aim is to create a multilingual online dictionary of the lexicon of the Italian artistic heritage. The dictionary, whose lexicographic process has already started, is intended for linguists and specialist translators as well as for professionals in the tourism sector and students of Foreign Languages and Literatures. The investigation conducted through a questionnaire submitted to undergraduate students at the University of Milan and at the University of Florence has a double aim: to research the habits in the use of lexicographic tools by possible users of the dictionary (Italian Learners of German Language), and to identify preferences regarding macro-, medio- and microstructural features of the future LBC-dictionary to realize a user-friendly tool. After a brief introduction on the state of the art of the survey in the field of Dictionary Users Studies, the article describes the questionnaire and the results obtained from the pilot study. A summary and a discussion on the future developments of the project conclude the work.
This paper analyses the XVIII century German translations of 'Les aventures de Télémaque' (1699) by François de Salignac de la Mothe Fénelon. In that century, Fénelon's masterpiece was translated into German mainly by four authors (August Bohse, Benjamin Neukirch, Josef Anton Ehrenreich, Ludwig Ernst Faramond), who adapted the text according not only to the historical period, but also to their own purpose, creating completely different works. They transformed the original text in different text genres, from a utopian novel with political and pedagogical aims to a text in verse form for didactic purposes, or to an epic poem with pedagogical functions. To investigate the differences between the translations the paper will focus especially on the macrostructural and the paratextual elements in order to make preliminary hypothesis on 1) the text genre, 2) the functions of the text and 3) the expected audience. Examples and final conclusions will end the article.
