| Abstract: |
This paper deals with comment field data from two web questionnaire surveys, performed in 2007 and 2011, about the use and users of
the Swedish Lexin Dictionary (SLD), an online monolingual learner’s dictionary. The SLD underwent comprehensive revision in
between the two studies. In order to evaluate the update I compare the respondents' comments on SLD before and after the revision.
The two sets of comment field data are categorised by the types of comments expressed and by the information categories mentioned.
As it turns out, respondents do seem happier with the new version of SLD. Generally, there are more positive comments after the
revision than before and the information categories mentioned are more often set in positive contexts in the latter data. In addition, the
majority of respondents in 2011 belong to the dictionary's target group, which was not the case in 2007. Although respondents seem
more satisfied with the new version of SLD, the two sets of comment field data contain largely the same kind of criticism, as for
example in comments concerning (usually the lack of) lemmas and examples. |
