Luis Fernando Rodríguez, Jesús Díaz, María Irene Velázquez Ahumada
This paper analyzes the dífferent types of informatíon that first and second year students of Englis Language and Literature look up in their dictionaries to facilitate their reading tasks. It does so in a twofold manner, first, by checking their preferences in terms of dictionary-type, and, second, by taking a closer look at the phonetic aspect of their search. The subjects were presented with a short text and were required lo work on it with no time limit. They had at their disposal a number of dictionaries including monolingua/, bilingual, snang, pronunciation and other varieties. Once they had finished, they were asked several questions concerning the use of the material at hand with respect lo the linguistic components of lexis, semantics and phonology.
