  2. Our team: • The teacher-tutor on the subject (Klepinina O.U. , Kirov Teachers’ Training College); • The social partner (Malysheve E.A. the head –master of the Scientific Library named after Herzen , The Department of Foreign Literature); • Mass media partner (Shitova A., the editor of college paper “Positive”); • Our students ( Nagisheve A., Group E-5, Plusnina J.,Group E-5, Nikulin I,Group T3-a)

  3. Kinds of Dictionaries • academic dictionaries ( give academic norms, describing lexical system of a given language) – references (contain active words); • encyclopaedia(describe a thing or reality) – general dictionary( describe words); • thesaurus (describe all the words even once mentioned in the language)- general dictionary( describe words); • explanatory (show the vivid connection of words)-ideographic dictionary; • explanatory (show the vivid connection of words)-translator; • non-historic- historic dictionaries.

  4. Kinds of Dictionaries(I know)

  5. Kinds of Dictionaries (I use) Names of all the things existing in the Universe are in the dictionaries. Anatol France, a French writer, said : “ Dictionaries are the whole Universe in the alphabetical order”.

  6. Using of the Dictionaries • A book or paper dictionary has some disadvantages, for example: it is very heavy and big ( a small one is very poor), if one uses medical dictionary he will find the word with only medical meaning not general and vice versa. • But nearly all the asked students point out the wide range of meanings of a word and the higher quality of translation using this dictionary. To make our analysis more accurate we compare the number of sold electronic and book dictionaries in the shops and electronic and book dictionaries used in the libraries. The figures show the equality of the dictionary using at the lesson or on-line, but book dictionaries are more often asked in the libraries .

  7. Using of the Dictionaries

  8. The Quality of Translation • The next step of our analysis is to measure the quality of the translated text . So, 18 students were asked to translate the text in 10 minutes. Nine of them use electronic dictionary ABBY Lingvo 12, the other nine use paper dictionaries . Having analyzed the results based on the main criteria , that is equivalence translation norm, genre and stylistic norms, the norms of the interpreter speech , pragmatical norms, conventional norms and the most important – communicational equivalence- the latteк translation is better.

  9. The Quality of Translation

  10. So, all these criteria and norm of translation are not in paper or electronic dictionaries, but only the process of our thinking, which can become more intense and quicker using different kinds of dictionaries. Electronic and Paper Dictionaries are methods of quality interpretation.
