Revisiting the Origins of EFL Lexicography
The dominant narrative on the origins of English monolingual learners’ dictionaries (MLDs) attributes their development to the EFL teaching and research by West, Palmer and Hornby in the early twentieth century. To date, the pedagogical features of bilingual dictionaries and their value as precursors to learners’ dictionaries have been largely overlooked. In this study, we revisit the genesis of English MLDs by tracing some of their key design fe…
Slipping Through the Cracks in e-Lexicography
Despite the remarkable advances made in recent years to facilitate the lexicographer’s work of interpreting and synthesizing the complexity of language uncovered by corpora, an uncritical use of cutting-edge corpus tools and resources can instill a false sense of assurance. In this paper, authentic examples pertaining to wordlist use, collocation research and example selection that arose when compiling a real-world lexical database are discussed …
Combining user needs, lexicographic data and digital writing environments
The past decades have seen dramatic improvements to dictionary content and format. Yet dictionaries – both paper-based and digital – remain disappointingly underused. As a result, it is widely acknowledged that more needs to be done to train people in dictionary-consultation skills. Another solution would be to build lexicographic resources that require little or no instruction. In this paper, I present the ColloCaid project, whose aim is to deve…
Raising teachers' awareness of corpora
The last couple of decades have seen a dramatic increase in corpus availability and a steady growth in the number of supporters of the use of corpora in language teaching. Yet there still seems to be a long way to go before corpora can be understood and used by language teachers in general. Novice corpus users often fail to grasp that corpora do not work in the same way as the more familiar language learning resources – such as dictionaries, gram…
O léxico diferenciado da tradução
Ao lermos uma tradução, é comum termos a clara noção de que estamos perante um texto traduzido, ao contrário do que acontece quando lemos um texto original, produzido sem as limitações impostas por um texto-fonte escrito num idioma diferente. Uma das características que poderá conferir esta sensação de diferença em relação às traduções é a frequência fora do comum de determinado léxico. Pesquisas existentes comparando a frequência de certas palav…
A Peek into What Today's Language Learners as Researchers Actually Do
Language learners today have a much wider choice of reference materials than in the past. In addition to dictionaries, grammar books and encyclopaedias, nowadays it is also possible for students to look things up on the Internet, in term banks and in corpora. Much of the literature on the pedagogical value of these resources focuses on what each of them can achieve separately. However, little has been said about how learners as researchers actual…
