Abstract
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation attempts a study in the design of school dictionaries for their use in the
mother tongue or first language education. Pedagogical dictionaries have undergone
changes, which are also due to changes, which had taken, place in the teaching of the
mother tongue and in descriptive linguistics from the 1950s onwards. Features of the
pedagogical model also have been affected by the development in language-teaching
methodology. The teaching of the mother tongue is now less concerned with the
knowledge and critical exploration of texts than with competence in oral and written
expression.
