Abstract

In a relatively short period, the production, availability and use of lexicographic resources have all experienced radical changes. Today, lexicographic information is increasingly derived from new tools that were not developed specifically for lexicographic purposes: search engines, parallel corpora, electronic forums, social media platforms, translation programs, and many more. But what precisely is the role of these tools in a concrete lexicographic search situation? How and when are they combined to obtain lexicographic information? We address these questions by empirically analyzing the lexicographic search strategies employed by 62 business and economics students across five foreign languages.
