The Access Structure in Learner's Dictionaries

dictionary, but also explicates the positioning and arrangement of data types.
This allows the user a more rapid dictionary consultation procedure. A typical
component of such a users' guidelines text is a sample article taken from the
central list to illustrate the default article structure, micro-architecture and
search zones.
The users' guidelines function as an immediate
constituent of the diction-
ary as a whole. The front matter text presenting the table of contents of the dic-
tionary also falls in this category. Both can be regarded as first order primary
outer texts. The table of contents gives access to most of the elements of the
word book structure and occasionally to parts of these elements. Where the
typical outer access structure guides a user to a lemma sign, the table of con-
tents includes entries which guide the user to the different
components of the
frame structure and to the individual texts contained in these components of
the dictionary as a big text. The functional value of a table of contents, which
increases the accessibility of the dictionary, may never be underestimated.
OALD
and COBUILD both include tables of contents which give access to
other lists and information in the front and back matter. Once again the learner
can follow two search paths, i.e. the direct route to the required information or
rapid access by means of the table of contents. The lexicographer must also
ensure accessibility to the outer texts.
The users' guidelines of some learner's dictionaries focus only on expli-
cating the data presented in the central word list. It therefore functions not as
an immediate constituent of the
dictionary as a whole, but as an immediate
constituent of the extended central list. Such an outer text functions as a second
order primary outer text. Another example of an outer text which is a constitu-
ent only of the central word list is the list of defining vocabulary. It increases
the access possibilities and focuses on data presented in the central list text.
Many dictionaries contain primary outer texts with their own outer texts,
e.g. an explanatory text, a table of contents or a users'
guidelines text directed
not at the dictionary as such but only at a specific outer text. These texts are
complex outer texts that are extended by adding subtexts. The subtexts func-
tion as secondary outer texts and are not immediate constituents of the dic-
tionary as a big text but rather of the specific outer texts. A major function of
secondary outer texts is to provide access to their primary outer texts and to
increase accessibility to data accommodated outside the central list of a dic-
tionary.
In WDAF a secondary text refines access to the texts in the back matter of
the dictionary. The lexicographers provide a classification
of all the semantic
fields listed in the back matter. This secondary text places all the semantic
fields in context and facilitates the search and learning processes. A table of
contents with page references gives quick access to texts in the back matter.
This functional secondary text increases the accessibility and retrievability of
information and is a good example of special extended access to an outer text.
