Building the way towards a bilingual learners’ dictionary of English: A case in point

Abstract

Bilingual pedagogical lexicography is currently attracting much attention among specialists, some of whom started to set out a number of conditions for a bilingual learners’ dictionary some years ago. This article focuses on current contributions and developments in the area, with particular attention to Spanish bilingual lexicography, by offering an introductory revision of the specialized bibliography and examining a particular English-Spanish dictionary for intermediate Spanish students in the light of the theoretical demands laid out by metalexicographers.
