| Abstract: |
In this paper, the CD-ROM edition of the GWDS is used as an opportunity to emphasize the importance of medium change for lexicographical development. Further, the advantages of hypertext are described for the production and use of lexicographical works (i.e. connection of different access options through conversion into hypertext modules, integration of sequences with regard to image, audio and video, option of interactive use of lexicographical data, e.g. to create one's own dictionary). By means of an article of the GWDS the conversion of medium-specific characteristics on the level of lexicographical microstructure is analyzed and evaluated. This is done in order to suggest improvements on the microstructure of the digital medium based on current conversion facilities. |
