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).
