Abstract

This paper presents the results of research on typographical error analysis in two specialised bilingual paper dictionaries: Diccionario de terminos economicos, financieros y comerciales/ A Dictionary of Economic, Financial and Commercial Terms ( Ariel, 2012), and Diccionario de terminos juri dicos/A Dictionary of Legal Terms ( Ariel, 2012). A model of errors is described, including similar errors and errors that are repeated both intratextually and intertextually. The error frequency in A Dictionary of Economic, Financial and Commercial Terms is higher than the average error frequency in a reference corpus of fourteen dictionaries (mainly first editions). This indicates that repeated editions do not always guarantee a higher level of formal correctness. Our results also show that a high frequency of errors does not necessarily entail a high intratextual error repetition rate. On the other hand, we establish a relationship between typographical errors and the access function in dictionaries, as that kind of error can interfere with access to accurate lexicographical information and data retrieval (especially when they occur in lemmas or sublemmas).
走向准确:专业双语词典排版错误分析模型。两个案例研究
本文介绍了两本专业双语纸质词典的排版错误分析研究结果:《经济、金融和商业术语词典》(Diccionario de terminos economicos,financieros y commerciales/A Dictionary of Economic,Financial and Commercial Terms)(Ariel,2012)和《法律术语词典》。描述了一个错误模型,包括相似的错误和在文本内和互文中重复的错误。《经济、金融和商业术语词典》的错误频率高于14本词典(主要是初版)参考语料库的平均错误频率。这表明重复的版本并不总是保证更高级别的形式正确性。我们的研究结果还表明,高频率的错误并不一定意味着高的语篇内错误重复率。另一方面,我们在排版错误和词典中的访问功能之间建立了关系,因为这种错误会干扰对准确词典信息的访问和数据检索(尤其是当它们发生在引理或子引理中时)。
