Pragmatique et didactique du dictionnaire: synonymes et collocations

It is difficult to answer the question what is a good dictionary? For the answer requires two alternatives, that is to say: 1. a very good knowledge of the dictionary; 2. a very good interaction between the dictionary and us. Similarly, would we be able to say what a "bad dictionary is? ". The answer will require an awareness of our ignorance. A good or bad dictionary always requires a bad or a good use of the same. In our paper, we propose to review the notion of "dictionary didactics" and "dictionary pragmatics". New typologies of synonymous collocations will be proposed taking into account lexicographical sources.
