characteristics (proficiency level, mother tongue, etc.)

.         New reference tools with a dictionary element (e.g. learning
tools, writing assistants)

corpora, learner corpora, lexical databases (e.g. Wordnet, Framenet, DANTE)

.         Integration of electronic dictionaries into language learning and
teaching (CALL, translator training, etc.)
