Abstract

Linguistics cannot be the only criteria to assess the relevance of a thesaurus. Psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology and social psychology can also help you understand how users learn to master this tool. Indeed, using a thesaurus requires important abstracting abilities that may vary depending on the way the tool is structured. In a school environment with young users, difficulties in manipulating concepts through the application of a controlled language thesaurus become apparent. This finding will lead us to think about what training in the use of thesauri to offer users, and how thesauri can help in the sharing of knowledge
