Accessing the ANW dictionary

Published:24 August 2008Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper describes the functional design of an interface for an online scholarly dictionary of contemporary standard Dutch, the ANW. One of the main innovations of the ANW is a twofold meaning description: definitions are accompanied by 'semagrams'. In this paper we focus on the strategies that are available for accessing information in the dictionary and the role semagrams play in the dictionary practice.
