The pedagogical dimension of the well-conceived specialised dictionary

Abstract

In the course of the past 30 years it has been acknowledged that research on pedagogical\nlexicography has to address three main issues: (i) development of new formats to cover both\ncommunicative and non-communicative situations; (ii) the layout of the information on the\ndictionary page, to facilitate the handling of information; (iii) what information is necessary for\neach type of learner at specific levels of proficiency. Although a big amount of specialised\ndictionaries have been produced during the last three decades, only some of them show the\npedagogical value or dimension of general dictionaries. To overcome this gap the theory of\nlexicographic functions indicates a way forward to the design and production of the\nlexicographic quality products that the modern globalized world requires. This article illustrates\nsome of the workings of this functional theory by commenting on some of the pedagogical\nvalue of EDGT, a two-way, bidirectional and multifunctional dictionary
