This panel examines the variety of units that can go to make up a glossary or a thematic dictionary: from Anglicims to set phrasal and collocations 'for all occasions’ to the cultural connotations of particular words. It will discuss such questions as: what relevant features of different languages and cultures can the listing of such units reveal? How can online and paper versions of such dictionaries help in language learning and everyday translation practice? What methodological and technical challenges might the compilers of such dictionaries face?
