| Abstract: |
In this article, we describe the "Louvain EAP Dictionary" (LEAD), a web-based English for Academic Purposes dictionary-cum-writing aid for non-native writers. The LEAD dictionary contains a rich description of non-technical words that express key functions in academic discourse (such as contrast, exemplification or cause and effect), with particular focus on their phraseology (collocations and recurrent phrases). The dictionary allows for both semasiological and onomasiological access. Its main originality is its customisability: the content is automatically adapted to users' needs in terms of discipline and mother tongue background. |
