François Gaudin, « Les définitions dans les dictionnaires de vulgarisation : observations et remarques », La linguistique, ID : 10670/1.wg2acd
Here we study the definitions and editorial strategies in three science dictionaries for very different audiences. We show that the target audience above all determines the modes of writing, and that general scientific dictionaries are closer to encyclopedias than disciplinary dictionaries. The particular attention paid to language, the history of words and lexical relations seems to reflect the humanism associated with the project of popularization.
