| Abstract: |
This paper is part of a study for the design of an advanced learner's dictionary (in Italian)
aimed at implementing Sinclair's vision of 'the ultimate dictionary' (see Sinclair et al., 2004:
xxiv) and based on his conception of lexical units. Our present goal is to exhaustively portray
the meaning profile of verbs, systematically distinguishing their meanings by their normal
patterns of usage. To achieve this, we apply Hanks's Corpus Pattern Analysis by means of
Kilgarriff and Rychlý's Sketch Engine.
The first chapter presents and discusses the theoretical background to our work. The second
gives a description of our methodology, which is then exemplified by a case study of the
Italian verb seguire. The final part of the paper draws a few conclusions on the feasibility and
usefulness of Sinclair's 'ultimate dictionary' and hints at future steps of the dictionarymaking
process.
The dictionary project is in its design stage and is intended to be a platform for cooperation
between the Italian publisher Zanichelli and a network of international universities and
research institutes. |
