ABSTRACT

This chapter explores the presentation of lexical collocations in the foremost Spanish Language Teaching (SLT) dictionaries. As interest in including collocational information in Spanish-language LDs is a very recent development, progress has been relatively modest compared to work done on other LDs in English-language and other lexicographical traditions with a more established focus on collocation. Still, Spanish LDs and LDs in other languages face the same kinds of problems and defi ciencies; our account can thus inform pedagogical lexicographical theory concerned with any language.
