Resumen de Frame-based lexicons and the making of dictionaries
In this paper it is shown how frame-based lexicons can lead to better dictionaries. Advanced Learner's Dictionaries are taken as a case-in-point, starting from the definition that 'an advanced learner's dictionary is a dictionary meant for L2-users with the aim to give them a thorough command in L2 of the most important linguistic functions (needs), viz. to understand, to speak, to write and to read in the FL.' Furthermore, the following assumptions apply: in order to further better understanding, learner's dictionaries should make use of the most adequate definitions, including other than verbal ones; in order to provide for better production, learner's dictionaries should provide the learner with the most typical collocations; in order to help better retention, learner's dictionaries should not (only) present lexemes in alphabetical order, but (also) order them thematically; in order to further better communication, learner's dictionaries should not be coupled loose from language didactics/ language learning methods
