Abstract

MAHECHA MAHECHA, Viviana  and  PEDRAZA PEDRAZA, María Betulia. The school dictionary and some of the issues that come up during its elaboration. Folios [online]. 2009, n.29, pp.51-62. ISSN 0123-4870.

The last trends of didactic lexicography demonstrate the need to think about the importance of the school dictionary as a tool for learning not only linguistically but also contextually, that is to say, as a source of knowledge for its potential users, in this case, teachers and students of different school levels. In agreement with the previous idea, this text proposes a review of some criteria taken into account for the production of three basic school dictionaries offered to the lexicographical Colombian market. The internal and external problems that could jeopardize the didactic nature of the dictionary and its relationship with the real contexts of its users are considered.

Keywords : School dictionary; didactic lexicography; pedagogy microstructure; macrostructure.
