This study used an online correction task to explore the extent to which different types of warning notes in Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English Online were heeded when users tried to correct errors in the use of L2 target words. The task was completed by 332 participants, yielding 1,819 answers produced after clicking on links to relevant entries. Warning notes were categorised in terms of their formatting features, but there were found to be inconsistencies in the way the dictionary associated different categories with different kinds of learner error. Participants judged warning notes with more visual enhancements to be more useful, but in the correction task the position of the warning notes also seemed to affect the degree to which the warnings were successfully applied. Different types of warning notes in learners’ dictionaries have not been examined previously in any depth, and the results suggest that some adjustments to formatting and placement might make them more effective.

学习词典中的警告说明：不同格式有效性的研究

本研究使用在线纠错任务来探索朗文当代英语在线词典中不同类型的警告说明在用户尝试纠正二语目标词使用错误时的注意程度。该任务由 332 名参与者完成，点击相关条目的链接后产生了 1,819 个答案。警告注释根据其格式特征进行分类，但发现字典将不同类别与不同类型的学习者错误相关联的方式不一致。参与者认为具有更多视觉增强的警告说明更有用，但在纠正任务中，警告说明的位置似乎也影响警告成功应用的程度。
