Abstract
Twelve electronic German dictionaries (bilingual, multilingual and monolingual) are tested and compared for their performance under a number of headings: information content, on-screen presentation of material, incorporation of hypertext and multimedia features, search facilities, interactive features, use with other applications, use of dictionaries together, and price. There are enormous differences in approach and quality between the various dictionaries, but the best of them are extremely powerful linguistic tools which can be utilised by language learners in a variety of ways. Details of each dictionary’s features and performance are included in an appendix.
