Abstract:

Le parole di una lingua non sono mai isolate ma si usano in combinazione e non
con qualunque parola ma solo con alcune. Per parlare bene bisogna usare le
combinazioni appropriate. In italiano si dice un tozzo di pane per indicare un
pezzo di pane, ma si dice anche un tozzo di carne? E una discussione si
solleva? O si solleva un’obiezione? Una discussione si affronta, ma
un’obiezione? In italiano non si dice fare un appuntamento con qualcuno ma
fissare o prendere un appuntamento. Ogni lingua preferisce combinazioni
diverse e quindi è facile sbagliare quando ci si serve di una lingua
straniera. A volte però anche il parlante nativo sbaglia o non è sicuro.

Questo dizionario ricostruisce l’ambiente linguistico di circa 6.500 entrate
per aiutare ogni parlante a comunicare in italiano. È destinato allo straniero
che ha una conoscenza avanzata della lingua italiana ma anche al parlante
nativo che è in cerca della parola giusta. Sarà inoltre molto utile per i
traduttori, per il mondo aziendale, scientifico e quello dell'insegnamento. Un
dizionario che si distingue dai normali dizionari monolingui e bilingui perché
indica sistematicamente le combinazioni lessicali (circa 220.000), molto
spesso spiegandole e/o accompagnandole con esempi (12.000) per chiarirne
l’uso.

---

Words are never used in isolation but in combination and not with any word but
only with certain specific words. To use a language properly the appropriate
combinations must be used. In Italian a piece of bread is a tozzo di pane, but
is that the case for meat? Is a tozzo di carne an appropriate combination? If
you want to make an appointment with somebody you should not say (as in
English) fare un appuntamento but fissare un appuntamento. An Italian affronta
una discussione (enters or tackles a discussion), but is it possible for him
to say affrontare un’obiezione (to enter or tackle an objection)? Yes it is,
as this dictionary shows. So every language has its own preferences in word
combinations, misleading non-native speaker into making mistakes influenced by
their own language.

This dictionary reconstructs the frame to which 6,500 Italian entries belong
and aims to help non-Italian speakers with an advanced linguistic competence
to find the appropriate word combinations for communicating in Italian.
Moreover, this dictionary can also be useful for native speakers who want to
improve their lexical choices in writing and speaking Italian, as for
translators, business people, researchers, teachers, and students.
The dictionary, contrary to ordinary monolingual and bilingual dictionaries,
systematically lists (nearly 220,000) word combinations, with explanations and
with examples (approx. 12,000) to demonstrate their usage.
