Abstract

Learners' dictionaries are supposed to be user-friendly and comprehensive reference books for non-native learners. It is. therefore, generally expected that learners' dictionaries should not only present precise and easily comprehensible definitions but also provide morphological and syntactic information about individual words not deducible from general rules of grammar. This paper explores how renowned learners' dictionaries deal with this and how successfully they meet such expectations.
