• Resumen

  • In Japan there is a burgeoning of compact English-Japanese dictionaries, both printed and electronic. This is due to the fact that a large number of Japanese have come to use English in their different activities and, accordingly, they want a compact, handy English-Japanese dictionary to which they can make a quick reference for unfamiliar words they come across. This paper reports on how the dictionaries are made and what their efficacy is.
