A survey of 74 teachers and 900 students revealed significant differences in their dictionary preferences. While teachers preferred comprehensive online learners’ dictionaries for their accuracy and depth, students gravitated towards bilingual tools like Google Translate (GT) for their speed and convenience. The pandemic accelerated the shift to digital resources, with both groups increasingly relying on online tools for remote learning. Despite widespread technological readiness, teachers expressed concerns over the accuracy and educational value of quick-access tools such as GT, especially for complex tasks. The findings underscore the need for formal dictionary training that balances students’ preference for convenience with the necessity of deep language engagement. This study highlights how cultural and contextual factors have shaped dictionary use in the Thai EFL context, with implications for integrating more effective dictionary use strategies into EFL curricula. These insights contribute to a better understanding of how both teachers and students can navigate the evolving digital learning landscape in post-pandemic education.","PeriodicalId":45657,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Lexicography","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143902917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, the pedagogical features of bilingual dictionaries and their value as precursors to learners’ dictionaries have been largely overlooked. In this study, we revisit the genesis of English MLDs by tracing some of their key design features in early pedagogical English-Japanese dictionaries. A historical overview reveals that Japanese bilingual lexicographers in the early twentieth century were already aware of learners’ needs in English production. Further evidential comparison is made between two archetypal examples of early pedagogical English-Japanese dictionaries and English MLDs: namely, Saito’s Jukugo-Hon’i Eiwa-Chu-Jiten (“Saito’s Idiomological English-Japanese Dictionary”) (1915) and Hornby’s Idiomatic and Syntactic English Dictionary (1942), respectively. The findings clearly demonstrate that the former has manifested in its entries information category (syntactical and phraseological) and manner of information presentation similar to those found in contemporary English MLDs. We argue that an embryonic form of English MLDs can be observed in those highly innovative early pedagogical English-Japanese dictionaries, and that the historical study of the origins of English MLDs should not ignore their pioneering efforts. This study can shed new light on the historical research on EFL dictionaries. These early Japanese lexicographical practices also offer plenty materials for reflection on contemporary bilingual learners’ dictionaries.","PeriodicalId":45657,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Lexicography","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143546116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Anthropocentrism in Contemporary Chinese Dictionary: A Synergic Perspective of Critical Lexicographical Discourse Studies and Systemic Functional Linguistics","authors":"Wenge Chen","doi":"10.1093/ijl/ecae019","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ijl/ecae019","url":null,"abstract":"Critical Lexicographical Discourse Studies (CLDS) view the dictionary as a discourse and emphasize an ideological, ethico-political dimension to the lexicographical process. Combining CLDS with Systemic Functional Linguistics, this paper looks into how anthropocentrism is manifested linguistically in Contemporary Chinese Dictionary (Seventh Edition), the most influential authoritative general-purpose Chinese dictionary, by examining the transitivity and appraisal patterns in the definition texts concerning animals and plants. The analysis shows that animals and plants are seldom assigned agency in their own right and that the animals and plants are evaluated either positively or negatively according to whether they are useful to the human beings while their intrinsic value is ignored. In particular, animals are highlighted for their agricultural and medicinal use and plants for their medicinal and ornamental value. However, compared with its previous editions, the dictionary has shown an enhanced awareness of environmental protection by deleting the encyclopaedic information that describes the use of some rare animals’ meat, bones and fur. It is argued that, although modern general-purpose dictionaries are increasingly corpus-based and descriptive, their role in shaping social values and stances cannot be disregarded. Dictionary makers need to balance what words mean with what they can be said to mean or be allowed to mean (Moon, 2014). The study contributes to unmasking and denaturalizing the hidden ideology in colony texts such as the dictionary, enhances a critical use of dictionaries and helps develop the theory of critical lexicography and emerging ecolexicography.","PeriodicalId":45657,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Lexicography","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142440189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
