Suvremena hrvatska dvojezična leksikografija u svijetu korisnih potreba (Preliminarno istraživanje)
Contemporary Croatian Bilingual Lexicography in Users' Perspective (Preliminary research)

Summary/Abstract: The knowledge about real needs of particular dictionary users should be established on factual evidence based on empirical research taking into account the user perspective. Since no such study of users' needs and expectations, as well as the ways in which they use dictionaries, which can efficiently pinpoint the potential weaknesses of the national lexicographic production, has been undertaken in the context of Croatian lexicography, a limited questionnaire survey has been carried out by the author among one hundred dictionary users: university and high school teachers and university students of various languages. The article puts forward and discusses the results of this survey which is hoped to be the first step towards a more objective and valid assessment of users' needs in Croatia.
