Dictionary usage research is a topic of increasing importance within the field of lexicography. At the beginning of the new millennium, the dictionary user was still relatively unknown. However, in the last ten years, more and more user studies have been published. Consequently, methods, data and the conclusions which can be drawn were successively refined. Also, new possibilities of web-based data collection, e.g., the analysis of log files, enriched this field of research. This contribution aims to describe the state of the art in dictionary usage research in the digital era. I begin by providing a short overview of methodological and terminological basics and then place a special focus on three different methods of collecting empirical data on dictionary use: online questionnaires, eye tracking and the analysis of log-files. All these methods are illustrated on user studies conducted at the Institute for the German Language in Mannheim.
El análisis de las obras lexicográficas existentes en espanol y en alemán para L2 confirma la necesidad de desarrollar un diccionario pedagógico con una nueva concepción, desde la cual el usuario pueda obtener una mayor información adaptada a sus necesidades. De especial relevancia es el tratamiento de la información específica con el que se puedan mejorar los procesos de producción de textos en L2 mediante un procedimiento que, teniendo en cuenta la diversidad de uso, permita seleccionar un lexema particular de la variedad de posibles lexicalizaciones. En esta contribución se presentan los aspectos teóricos y metodológicos que sustentan el proyecto DICONALE-online. Los cuatro pilares del proyecto en torno al tipo de usuarios, al enfoque conceptual y onomasiológico, a la base empírica de los datos y al modelo de descripción enlazado con un punto de vista contrastivo configuran nuevos retos para el desarrollo de la lexicografía pedagógica que se expondrán en este trabajo a partir de algunos ejemplos.
This paper presents some theoretical and methodological foundations of the research project DICONALE, which concerns the development of an online dictionary of verbal lexemes with a special conceptual-onomasiological access and a paradigmatic structure in response to studies which have shown that conventional dictionaries (both monolingual and bilingual), do not satisfy the specific needs of users involved in the production of texts in foreign language.
This article presents empirical findings about what criteria make for a good online dictionary, using data on expectations and demands collected in an online questionnaire (N~684), complemented by additional results from a second questionnaire (N-390) which looked more closely at whether respondents had differentiated views on individual aspects of the criteria rated in the first study. Our results show that the classical criteria of reference books (such as reliability and clarity) were rated highest by our participants, whereas the unique characteristics of online dictionaries (such as multimedia and adaptability) were rated and ranked as (partly) unimportant. To verify whether or not the poor ratings of these innovative features were a result of the fact that our subjects are unfamiliar with online dictionaries incorporating such features, we incorporated an experiment into the second study. Our results revealed a learning effect: participants in the learning-effect condition, i.e. respondents who were first presented with examples of possible innovative features of online dictionaries, judged adaptability and multimedia to be more useful than participants who were not given that information. Thus, our data point to the conclusion that developing innovative features is worthwhile but that it should be borne in mind that users can only be persuaded of their benefits gradually. In addition, we present data about questions relating to the design of online dictionaries.
This article is concerned with the choice of a corpus to be used as the empirical basis of a bilingual, bidirectional and conceptual learner dictionary of German and Spanish. Several standard corpora as well as web corpora for German and Spanish will be compared with respect to their size, the variety of genres they contain, the time span and geographical areas covered and what kind of search facilities they allow (e.g. word queries based on lemmata rather than on word forms). It will be argued that, when standard corpora fail to meet a particular requirement, web data may provide a useful alternative for lexicographical purposes provided they are both linguistically (i.e. morpho-syntactically) and meta-linguistically tagged.
Este artículo expone a partir de una serie de ejemplos diferentes situaciones de uso del diccionario bilingüe que evidencian la importancia de llevar a cabo una adecuada adquisición y desarrollo de las competencias lexicográficas en el contexto de enseñanza-aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras y, en este caso en concreto, del alemán como lengua extranjera. Con este propósito se parte de tres competencias básicas: la selección de la obra lexicográfica adecuada según la situación comunicativa, la desambiguación pertinente en el contexto de la recepción en L2 y traducción de L2 a L1 y la selección y uso del equivalente en el contexto de la producción y traducción en la L2. El objetivo de esta aportación es poner de manifiesto la necesidad de identificar adecuadamente por parte del usuario de un recurso lexicográfico bilingüe la información lexicológica pertinente a la forma, contenido y uso de los lemas consultados tanto en la situación de recepción y producción en L2 como en el contexto de la traducción de y a L2.
