Abstract:

This book is concerned with bilingual thematic dictionaries (BTDs). The three 
chief aims of the research project are: 1) to identify the characteristic features 
of the bilingual thematic dictionary, 2) to gauge its usefulness, and 3) to make 
suggestions as to how it could be improved. Various approaches are adopted in 
order to reveal the nature of the BTD. The typological approach considers the 
lexicographic genres (bilingual, thematic, and pedagogical) which have been 
combined to create this hybrid reference work. Particular attention is paid to the 
BTD's immediate forerunner and closest lexicographic relative: the monolingual 
thematic learner's dictionary. Detailed textual analyses of contemporary 
thematic dictionaries identify the characteristic features of the macrostructure, 
microstructure, and other components from a structural perspective. In order to 
evaluate the usefulness of the BTD features identified, the textual analyses are 
supplemented by three pieces of user research involving a questionnaire (to 
elicit learners' opinions), a test (on the effectiveness of the access structure), 
and an experiment (to discover how a learner uses a BTD).
