20.500.12556/RUL-144748 Who is sharpest at looking up sharp? comparing two parallel groups of dictionary users This article is a comparison of two previous research studies (Farina et al. 2019; Vrbinc et al. in press), both of which examined the dictionary look-up behaviors of two very different cohorts of undergraduate students from the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. At the time the two original and parallel look-up studies were carried out, one cohort was majoring in business and economics in the School of Economics and Business and the other was majoring in English in the Faculty of Arts. The previously published work reports on how, in both groups, participants were given nine contexts containing a clearly marked common English word used in an infrequent and often unknown sense; they had to locate the relevant sense related to a given context in an unknown-to-them learner's dictionary, The Britannica Dictionary. The participants were asked to think aloud as they looked up words; the researchers observed and recorded their approaches and problems. Prior to, during, and after the look-up process, the members of these two cohorts responded to fourteen questions about their habits of dictionary use and their perceptions of the utility and quality of definitions and illustrative examples that they encountered. This article contrasting the two studies indicates that the look-up proficiency of the two groups differed significantly. bilingual dictionary context cotext descriptions of functions examples of use grammatical differences lexical differences lexico-grammatical differences pragmatic senses zero equivalence dictionary user advanced english learner learner's dictionary dictionary awareness look-up behavior quality of definition quality of examples dvojezični slovarji sobesedilo kotekst opisi funkcij primeri rabe slovnične razlike leksikalne razlike leksikogramatične razlike pragmatični pomeni ničta ustreznost true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-03-10 09:35:33 2023-03-10 09:44:48 2023-03-11 03:36:47 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 368-391 Vol. 32 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 811.111'374.8 2224-0039 10.5788/32-1-1750 131228163 Who_is_Sharpest_at_Looking_Up_sharp_Comparing_Two_Parallel_Groups_of_Dictionary_Users.pdf Who_is_Sharpest_at_Looking_Up_sharp_Comparing_Two_Parallel_Groups_of_Dictionary_Users.pdf 1 40FCE92D9397232D4BA5936118E9F2D8 6b62541837acf0dd08103eb760c3a64d8cf7546c0d75d80d8639ada745f97ec7 7d47391a-bf1f-11ed-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=167235 https://lexikos.journals.ac.za/pub/article/view/1750 0 99df5059-bf1f-11ed-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=167236 Filozofska fakulteta Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
