Title A tale of two halves: writing a bilingual dictionary for students of English
Abstract By contrast with most bilingual dictionaries, Das Große Oxford Wörterbuchfür Schule undBerufwas written for one user-group only, with the aim of creating a bilingual dictionary which was also a pedagogical tool. This affected editorial decisions about the shape of the dictionary at all levels: from coverage to the selection of which information should be shown on each side of the dictionary and the way in which it should be presented. This paper looks at the ways in which this dictionary is different from both conventional bilingual dictionaries and monolingual learners' dictionaries, and at the differences between the two halves of the dictionary.
