Better electronic dictionary use
Can be achieved by:
• Users‟ effort (supported by instruction):
especially, classroom instruction to inform
and train students to become proficient
users of electronic dictionaries
• Manufactures‟ effort:
make sophistication compatible with user-
frinendliness

Manufacturer factors:
The combination of dictionaries included in a handheld dictionary is not satisfactory for all users.
• To maximize their sales, all manufacturers incorporate:
1) Brand-name/best-selling dictionaries
2) Dictionaries easy to include

Japan‟s dictionary compilation:
stagnation
• Print dictionaries:
- Sales declining
- Revision intervals widening
• Handheld electronic
dictionaries:
- Reached saturation
point
- Depend contents on

Lexicographers: endangered spices

Eijiro
• aims to be the most comprehensive dictionary,
covering the range from everyday to technical
vocabulary and providing practical and useful
phrases and examples (Eijiro, 5th ed. 2010: 13)
• Evolved from a database format intended mainly
for professionals into a popularly used dictionary
structure, displaying dictionary-like
characteristics: numbered sense discriminations,
and grammar and usage annotations.

Two approaches to collocation
search
• ↓ Paradigmatic relations
(e.g. consult 本格 in a JED for the
synonyms)
• → Syntagmatic relations
(e.g. consult “dish” in a collocation
dictionary for collocates)

Flexible collocation search
• You can enter a combination of Japanese and
English “本格 dish”.
• The dictionary cross-searches the database
– the Japanese component by 本格 and the
English component by “dish” –
to bring an example which includes both 本格and
dish.

Shortcomings of Eijiro
• EPD takes no responsibility for the content
of the data. Users are to judge the
accuracy, reliability, usefulness,
appropriateness, up-to-dateness, etc. of
the data at their own risk (Eijiro, 5th ed.
2010: 2).
• Haphazard approach: adding info as they
go along

4.1 A case of EFL dictionary
“Dual-Track Approach” by Macmillan ED
• 7.500 words: for reception and production
• Less frequent words: for reception
“This „dual-track‟ approach has great benefits for
the user: productive vocabulary is described in
depth, while the brevity of „receptive‟ entries
enables us to include much more vocabulary of
this type.” (“Introduction,” v)

Shortcomings of EFL dictionaries
• Intended for the global market
• Offer limited help for production
- less frequent words
- multi-word lexical items
• Productive EFL dictionaries provide too selective information.

4.2 Electronic revolution
• Boundaries between dictionaries lowered.
• Dictionaries can be put to different uses than originally intended.
- Distinction between receptive and productive dictionaries makes less sense.
However, it is questionable:
Materials prepared for reception are readily useful for production.

Why not merge them?:
A dictionary-cum-database
• Vast amounts of info are available.
• Users‟ purposes/preferences are variegated.
- Some need guidance on usage and examples
but others are only after exquivalents.
Arrangements should be made for necessary info
to be selected.
