内向型汉英词典编纂过程中的用户友善问题

论文摘要

在词典编纂中,用户友善是指以最便捷易读的方式向词典用户提供所需信息。本文着重讨论高级内向型汉英学习词典编纂过程中的用户友善问题。为了更准确地了解用户的需求,本文作者做了一个小型的用户需求调查,同时借用何家宁(2003)等人的调查结果,分别从词典正文外信息、宏观结构和微观结构等方面分析目前市面上流行的汉英词典所存在的不足,总结相关的成功经验,并尝试提出相关改进建议。内向型汉英词典的正文外信息容易被用户忽视,因此,编者在注重其信息性的同时应注意用各种方法和手段吸引用户的眼球,如采用图表、彩色等;在宏观结构方面,编者应慎重收录生物和地理信息,注重收录更多的新词新义;在微观结构方面,词条的注音、对应词的数量和质量、短语例证和句子例证的搭配、词性标注、标注应用等方面均需慎重处理。具体而言,编者应该根据目标用户确定注音是否有必要;对应词不仅数量要多,质量也要高;短语例证和句子例证应合理结合:词目义项排列应综合频率和逻辑因素;汉语词条应该标注词性、英语对应词的词性应该有选择性的标注;标注应该简单明了。
