English and German thesauri for language production: Examining the user-friendliness of two electronic thesauri
Original language description
This article explores the use and challenges of online thesauri, focusing on the English and German languages. Drawing from the historical significance of Peter Mark Roget’s Thesaurus and its impact on the development of similar resources and consid-ering the shift towards digital mediums in language reference tools, especially for edu-cational purposes, we aim to fill the gap in user studies concerning online thesauri. Our research delves into user experiences, identifying common issues encountered, and how they might be addressed. Specifically, we will present the findings of an anal-ysis of two prominent online thesauri: Thesaurus.com for English and Openthesaurus.de for German. After providing some theoretical background on the characteristics of synonym dictionaries and thesauri and an outline of dictionary-user studies in foreign language learning, a detailed methodology outlining participant selection, materials used, and procedures will follow. Subsequently, we will present an overview of our findings and conclude with a discussion of implications and future directions
