| Abstract |
This paper discusses the organization of equivalents and presentation of fixed expressions in six bilingual dictionaries of Spanish and English. The dictionaries studied were published over the last forty years (1971, 1983, 2003, 2004, and 2008), and we compare the information contained in the older dictionaries with more recent ones. In addition, we compare frequency data taken from the Corpus del Español with information on fixed expressions contained in the dictionary entries. The focus of the study is on the representation of the Spanish words cuadro and hoyo, and the English word poison. The discussion herein would be of benefit to those planning a new bilingual dictionary or major overhaul of an existing one. |
