Abstract:
The purpose of the work here presented is to be a modest contribution to the studies on Spanish collocations, not only from the point of view of pure theory but also from the point of view of practical application. This purpose is reflected in the title: Aspectos teóricos y metodológicos para la compilación de un diccionario combinatorio destinado a estudiantes de E/LE (Theoretical Aspects and Methods of Compiling a Combinatory Dictionary for Students of Spanish as a Foreign Language). The aim of this study is to provide a panoramic view of the combinatorial dictionaries for English and for the romance languages and to establish their prototypical features. The findings are used to present a proposal for compiling an electronic combinatory dictionary to teach/learn Spanish as a foreign language by levels, called DiCLELE (Diccionario de combinaciones léxicas para la enseñanza-aprendizaje de E/LE). In Chapter 1 I outlined the major approaches to the concept of collocation and showed which concept of collocation will be taken in the present work. In Chapter 2 I described the main characteristics of collocations dictionaries and discussed several general and specialised English bilingual dictionaries. After it I discussed several general monolingual dictionaries on paper (Chapter 3) and electronic ones (Chapter 4). I went on by outlining the different ways to treat the semantic collocational information in existing dictionaries (Chapter 5) and I reflected on how to teach collocations. The last scope was to estabilish how to provide collocational information on the forthcoming DiCLELE, an electronic combinatory dictionary for italian learners of Spanish described in detail in Chapter 7. In order to carry out that purpose, it was necessary to collect a considerable amount of data in Spanish. The sources were the Plan Curricular of Instituto Cervantes (PCIC) and the main handbooks used in the several centres Instituto Cervantes of Italy.
