The Role of Chatbots, Google and Online Dictionaries in Meaning Comprehension and Retention
Today, language learners can turn to generative AI applications in situations of linguistic deficit, rather than search the web or consult dictionaries. The aim of the study is to find out if meaning comprehension and retention are affected by whether a chatbot, Google or a monolingual learners’ dictionary is consulted. Five online tools are investigated: ChatGPT-3.5, Microsoft Copilot, the Google English dictionary, the Longman Dictionary of Con…
Warnings in Learners’ Dictionaries
The paper aims to investigate the effect of warning messages in monolingual English learners’ dictionaries on the accuracy of error correction as well as immediate and delayed retention of usage. An attempt is also made to see whether the position of information useful for task performance in entries affects error correction and learning. Two types of warnings are investigated: deduction-oriented warning boxes and induction-oriented standalone ex…
Pictures in Online Dictionaries
The aim of the paper is to examine the influence of different access paths to pictures in online English learners’ dictionaries on meaning reception and retention. The article also explores the influence of pictures on the time of meaning comprehension. The following aspects of access to pictures in online learners’ dictionaries are investigated: making pictures instantly visible in entries, hyperlinking pictures, providing no pictures. In an onl…
Smart advertising and online dictionary usefulness
Today, online advertisements are smart. Based on targeting, they are highly personalized to match the interests of Internet users. Smart advertisements feature even in high-quality online dictionaries, which is a trade-off for free dictionary content. The aim of the paper is to investigate the influence of targeted advertisements in online dictionaries on language reception, production and learning. The study also identifies the effect of adverti…
Homogeneous or Heterogeneous? Insights into Signposts in Learners’ Dictionaries
The current study tests empirically whether linguistically homogeneous or heterogeneous signposts better serve dictionary users. It aims to determine which signposts, homogeneous or heterogeneous, are more beneficial to sense identification, language reception, and production as well as immediate and delayed retention of meaning. The paper also investigates whether the usefulness of the type of signposting is dependent on the grammatical category…
Dictionary entries and bathtubs
The paper is devoted to sense identification in polysemous entries as well as language reception and production. Five-sense entries devoid of any internal access facilitators and included in OALDCE8 in book form were used in an experiment where subjects identified senses in which target words were used in corpus sentences. Then, the senses had to be explained and original English sentences with the target words in the target senses had to be form…

An insight into the visual presentation of signposts in English learners’ dictionaries online
The aim of the paper is to evaluate the methods for presenting signposts which are used in online versions of three monolinecv040gual English learners’ dictionaries: LDOCE5, OALD8 and OALD9. In these dictionaries, signposts take the form of, respectively, white capitals on a blue background, crimson capitals above a crimson line, and black lower-case letters above a dark orange line. The study aims to determine which of these signpost highlightin…
On the Presentation and Placement of Collocations in Monolingual English Learners' Dictionaries
The paper reports on an empirical investigation in which the effect of lexicographic \npresentation and positioning of collocations on encoding and retention was analysed. \nTwo places of collocations in entries (entry-initial and entry-final) in three presentation \nconditions (box, bold before examples, bold within examples) were taken into consid- \neration. The experiment centred on verb+noun collocations and was conducted among \na large gro…
When-definitions revisited
The aim of this paper is to analyze the usefulness of when-definitions for conveying information on the grammatical category of headwords. Such definitions are currently employed in some monolingual learners’ dictionaries (MLDs) to define abstract nouns, but they have a much longer tradition in English lexicography. By way of introduction, this defining pattern is compared with other definition formats prevalent in learners’ dictionaries. The res…
User-Friendliness of Noun and Verb Coding Systems in Pedagogical Dictionaries of English
The aim of the paper is to assess the user-friendliness of noun and verb coding systems in monolingual dictionaries for foreign learners of English (MLDs). The paper opens with an overview of noun and verb codes in MLDs. Two coding systems are identified: mainstream and alternative ones. They inspired an empirical study, presented in the main body of the paper, in which around 900 native speakers of Polish took part. Besides their level of profic…
Paper or Electronic? The Role of Dictionary Form in Language Reception, Production and the Retention of Meaning and Collocations
The aim of the paper is twofold. First, it aspires to compare the usefulness of a monolingual English learners’ dictionary in electronic and paper form in receptive and productive tasks. Second, it sets out to assess the role of dictionary form in the retention of meaning and collocations. The investigation concerns the paper and electronic versions of a recent monolingual English learners’ dictionary, COBUILD6 (2008). The study reports on an exp…
Wiegand, Herbert Ernst. Internationale Bibliographie zur germanistischen Lexikographie und Worterbuchforschung
The present review deals with the first three volumes of the four-volume Bibliography, the fourth one to be published in 2009. Even though it is impossible to do justice to the whole monumental work at this point, it can already be seen as an extremely valuable contribution to the body of publications in the field of lexicography. Wiegand's Bibliography opens with a preface (VII-XI), where the Author throws light on the compilation process, initi…
