The Concept of a Bilingual Learner-Oriented German-Serbian Collocation Dictionary

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to describe the concept of the digital German-Serbian collocation dictionary currently under development. The dictionary is aimed primarily at Serbian-speaking learners of German and is therefore both a lexicographic and didactic project. In designing the dictionary, the authors strive to combine essential findings from corpus-based phraseology research with current insights from GFL didactics and methods. In addition, the needs of the young Internet generation will be taken into account. The present study is therefore intended to provide an insight into the thinking and working process involved in creating this dictionary.
