Title Parallel Development of Monolingual and Bilingual Dictionaries for Learners of English
Abstract Dictionary makers have traditionally treated the compilation of monolingual and bilingual dictionaries as quite distinct activities. However, there is a lot of overlap in the work required for the two genres, especially when the target user group is similar. This paper discusses the parallel development of monolingual and bilingual diction-ries, and suggests that as well as labour-saving advantages each genre can provide useful insights which may be incorporated into the other. It suggests also that consideration of cross-linguistic data may in some cases modify the assumption of corpus frequency as the overriding factor in dictionary inclusion policy.
