摘要

本文讨论了数字词典编纂产品的设计。它介绍了以人为中心的设计理念,正如Don Norman在其著作中所解释的那样,并讨论了核心设计概念,如启示、能指、反馈以及从词典编纂者到用户的其他良好沟通形式。传统词典的成功使用往往依赖于预期目标用户群体的参考技能。特别是在有空间限制的印刷词典中,词典编纂者使用压缩条目、缩写和不同类型的结构指示符来节省空间。这通常会损害用户从提供的数据中检索所需信息的能力。数字环境为词典编纂者创造了新的机会,以更好的方式帮助他们的用户。本文利用以人为中心的设计原则,展示了这些方法在现有在线词典中的应用。超越了传统在线词典的范围,我们以集成电子阅读词典和词典编纂辅助写作助手为例,在文本接收和文本生成辅助方面,更强大的以用户为中心的设计功能脱颖而出。字典文化的最初概念主要基于用户的参考技能,而新的词典编纂文化则遵循以人为中心的设计原则。它把责任放在词典编纂者的肩膀上,设计词典编纂产品,使直观的使用和确保改进的词典编纂成功。

eference Skills or Human-Centered Design: Towards a New Lexicographical Culture
This paper deals with the design of digital lexicographical products. It introduces the philosophy of human-centered design, as explained in the work of Don Norman, and discusses central design concepts like affordances, signifiers, feedback, and other forms of good communication from lexicographer to user. The successful use of traditional dictionaries often relied on the presumed reference skills of the envisaged target user group. Especially in printed dictionaries with their space restrictions, lexicographers used condensed entries, abbreviations, and different types of structural indicators to save space. This often was to the detriment of the user who struggled to retrieve the required information from the data on offer. The digital environment has created new opportunities for lexicographers to assist their users in a far better way. Using principles of human-centered design, this paper shows the emergence of the application of some of these approaches in existing online dictionaries. Going beyond the scope of traditional online dictionaries, examples are taken from integrated e-reading dictionaries and lexicography-assisted writing assistants where even stronger user-centered design features come to the fore with regard to respectively text reception and text production assistance. Where the original concept of a dictionary culture was primarily based on the reference skills of the user, a new lexicographical culture is suggested that adheres to human-centered design principles. It places the responsibility on the shoulders of the lexicographer to design lexicographic products that enable intuitive use and ensure improved lexicographic success.
