Specialised Dictionaries for Learners
Edited by Pedro A. Fuertes-Olivera
Published by de Gruyter

The need for constructing a lexicographical theory with a particular focus on specialized dictionaries for learners is well documented in recent publications. This will imply paying attention to, at least, four basic lexicographic categories: learners; the learner's situation; the learner's needs; dictionary assistance. In one or other way, these categories are analysed in this book, whose eleven chapters are grouped into three parts. Part 1 reflects on some of the main ideas defended by the function theory of lexicography, perhaps the theoretical framework that has paid more attention to specialized lexicography. Part 2 presents some proposals that have already being explored in the field of general learner's dictionary and must be incorporated into specialized metalexicography: cultural aspects; figurative meaning; the inclusion of grammatical information; the use of corpora. Part 3 introduces the state of play regarding specialized dictionaries in China and offers some ideas for coping with the proliferation of terminological glossaries in Internet.
