Smrž Pavel, doc. RNDr., Ph.D., UPGM (FIT)
The present paper describes psycholinguistic experiments aimed atexploring the way people behave while accessing electronicdictionaries. In our work we focused on the access by meaning that, incomparison with the access by form, is currently less studied and veryseldom implemented in modern dictionary interfaces. Thus, the goal ofour experiments was to explore dictionary users' requirements and tostudy what services an intelligent dictionary interface should be ableto supply to help solving access by meaning problems. We tested severalaccess-supporting enhancements of electronic dictionaries based onvarious language resources (corpora, wordnets, word association normsand explanatory dictionaries). Experiments were carried out with nativespeakers of three European languages - English, Czech and Russian.Results for monolingual and bilingual cases are presented.
