Authors : Harouni-merfedj Zahri .

Abstract

This paper attempts to show the role played by the dictionary and more particularly the bilingual dictionary in an EEL. (English as a Foreign Language ) context at university level in Algeria and to examine some of the problems encountered by the students in the use of such dictionaries. In this short account, we hope to be able to shed light on some of the shortcomings in these dictionaries both at the microlinguistic ant the macrolinguistic levels, namely limited meaning discrimination, collocability restrictions and insufficient cultural, connotative and pragmatic information across languages and sometimes even within one language. Cet article se propose d'examiner le rôle du dictionnaire et particulièrement le dictionnaire bilingue dans l'enseignement et l'apprentissage de l'Anglais comme langue étrangère au niveau universitaire en Algérie. Dans ce bref exposé, nous espérons pouvoir mettre en évidence certaines insuffisances constatées dans ces dictionnaires tant au niveau microlinguistique qu'au niveau macrolinguistique, notamment la limitation dans la discrimination du sens surtout en polysémie, les restrictions de cooccurrence et le manque d'information relative à l'aspect pragmatique, connotatif et culturel de la langue.
