• Sommario/riassunto: Dieser Band hat die detaillierte Analyse der neuesten Generation englischer Lernerwörterbücher zum Gegenstand. Er enthält die Vorträge des gleichnamigen Symposiums, das im April 1997 an der Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg stattfand. Diese Wörterbücher sind von besonderem lexikographischen Interesse, weil 1. der Typus des Lernerwörterbuchs, der eng mit dem Namen Hornby verbunden ist, in der britischen Lexikographie eine lange Tradition hat, 2. durch die Konkurrenz verschiedener Verlage seit den späten siebziger Jahren entscheidende Impulse zur Weiterentwicklung dieser Wörterbücher erfolgt sind, 3. diese neuen Wörterbücher in ganz entscheidendem Maße durch die Auswertung großer Computerkorpora geprägt sind. Im Mittelpunkt des Bandes steht ein fundierter Vergleich der 1995 erschienenen Wörterbücher OALD5, LDOCE3, COBUILD2 und CIDE. Ziel ist die Darlegung der unterschiedlichen Konzeptionen der vier Wörterbücher unter den verschiedensten Gesichtspunkten (Bedeutungserklärungen, Valenz- und Kollokationsangaben, Beispielpolitik, political correctness, usw.), wobei quantitative Analysen eine große Rolle spielen. Zudem wird in einigen Beiträgen auf die Geschichte der englischen Lernerwörterbücher, die Bedeutung der Korpuslinguistik für die Lexikographie und Zukunftsperspektiven, vor allem in Hinblick auf die elektronischen Medien, eingegangen.; This volume undertakes a detailed analysis of the latest generation of learners' dictionaries of English. It assembles the papers delivered at the eponymous symposium held at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg in April 1997. There are a number of reasons why these dictionaries are of special lexicographic interest: 1. the type of learners' dictionary associated notably with the name of Hornby can look back on a long tradition in British lexicography; 2. competition between various publishers since the late 70s has given crucial impetus to the development of these dictionaries; 3. these new dictionaries are decisively marked by the evaluation of large-scale computer corpora. Central to the volume is the in-depth comparison of four dictionaries published in 1995: OALD5, LDOCE3, COBUILD2, CIDE. The aim is to exemplify specific differences of approach in the four dictionaries from a wide range of viewpoints (definitions, information on valency and collocations, policy on usage examples, political correctness, etc.). A number of articles also enlarge on the history of learners' dictionaries of English, the significance of corpus linguistics for lexicography, and perspectives for the future, notably in connection with the electronic media.
