Abstract:
This book deals with the problem of foreign language lexicography. It
is concerned with the lack of adequacy between, on the one hand,
current reference works and, on the other, the learners' needs. These
needs have been insufficiently investigated and this book suggests
that the lack of substantial results in the area is due to a flawed
research methodology. It is suggested that a qualitative type of
research, instead of a quantitative one, should yield better
results. A sample of this kind of qualitative analysis, carried out on
dictionary examples, bears out that dictionaries would gain with a
separation of the encoding and decoding parts. This had already been
suggested by a few researchers in the past, but only at a theoretical
level. A series of practical consequences of this separation are then
considered and, as a result, recommendations are formulated for the
compiling of dictionaries in the future. These recommendations are
intended mainly to improve the encoding part of the dictionary.
