This paper deals with lexical means of general language which are also a part of the common language of science. Due to differences in collocational meanings between Croatian, German and English, both authors of scientific texts and translators face many difficulties when attempting to find proper functional translational equivalents in a target language. This part of the lexicon and lexical relations are not adequately covered in Croatian-German and Croatian-English general bilingual dictionaries and as a result, an important layer of the common language of science remains unavailable for dictionary users whose L1 is Croatian. The authors argue that improvements are needed to the lexicographic representation of collocations in general bilingual dictionaries, they provide arguments and suggestions as to how to improve the presentation of collocations in printed bilingual dictionaries by relying on computerbased methods. Furthermore, a list of verb-noun collocations for the three aforementioned languages created for the purposes of this study may serve as a basis for improving existing bilingual dictionaries as well as bilingual and multilingual e-dictionaries specializing in the general language of science, in which collocations should take a more prominent place. 146 selected examples of verb-noun collocations typically found in texts on the arts and humanities (e.g. Belege heranziehen, razmotriti znanstvene dokaze, to consider facts; Theorie herausarbeiten, razviti teoriju, to develop / formulate a theory) will show that these three languages complement each other. Furthermore, a contrastive analysis will illustrate how divergent meanings can be avoided by improving the representation of collocations typically found in the common language of science in bilingual and multilingual dictionaries of Croatian, German and English, thus making this specific layer of the lexicon more available to the dictionary user.

The paper presents the design and implementation of a thematic dialectal dictionary that uses new technological possibilities of e-media to be transformed into an e-dictionary. It is web-based, interactive (with multimedia content), and growing (supplementing articles), it has an aesthetic graphic identity. All this influences the potential endusers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper describes the error-tagging scheme developed for the CroLTeC learner corpus (http://nlp.ffzg.hr/resources/corpora/croltec/) - the first electronic learner corpus of Croatian as a foreign language. CroLTeC contains essays collected from 755 students with 36 different mother tongues, among which the most prominent were Spanish, English, German, Polish, Chinese, French, and Arabic. It consists of 4,747 essays, out of which 1,217 were digitally born, while 3530 essays were scanned, transcribed in RTF format, and converted into XML format. CroLTeC has a total of 1,054,287 tokens, and essays have been collected on all 6 levels of Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) at Croaticum - Center for Croatian as Second and Foreign Language at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb, Department of Information Sciences, Natural Language Processing group. All CroLTeC essays contain metadata about the title, number, and type of essay (homework, part of an exam or field class, etc.). Data were lemmatized and annotated with morphosyntactic tags with the ReLDI tagger (Ljubešić et al., 2016). Also, the corpus is searchable by age, sex, language proficiency level, and the mother tongue of the learner. The error-tagging scheme is partially based on Šolar (the scheme of Developmental corpus of Slovene) and the error-coding of the Cambridge Learner Corpus and further tailored to the Croatian language. The goal of the development of the error-tagging scheme is to build a sub-corpus that will serve as a repository of authentic data about the learner's interlanguage. It should enable researchers and teachers of Croatian as a foreign language to explore the interlanguage, to discover the aspects of the grammar that are the most difficult to master and to tailor teaching materials to different groups of learners (not only according to their Croatian language proficiency level but also to their first language). Finally, the error-tagged sub-corpus should also serve as a starting point for designing computer-aided tools to correct lexical errors, misuse of verbal tenses, phrasal verbs, and collocations.
