Pour une ergonomie cognitive des dictionnaires électroniques

We compare a linguistic/psycholinguistic approach of the organisation of the mental lexicon with a computational approach of the implicit lexical organisation in dictionaries taken as graphs and whose structure is a “small world”. This double approach aims at showing that if the implicit structure of dictionaries, mathematically identified, is adequate with the way young children categorise, then those graphs might be considered as “cognitive artefacts”. This may lead to novel applications as well as to promising researches MOTS-CLÉS : SYNONYMIE INTRA/INTER DOMAINE, HYPERONYMIE, METAPHORE, PROXEMIE, SIMILARITE, LEXIQUE DES VERBES, SMALL WORLDS.
