“…A lack of suitable resources, especially in digital format, hampers the ability to democratise knowledge effectively. Having access to digital dictionaries has become important in today's digital age and many works have been published that report on such efforts using either existing dictionaries or creating digital dictionaries from scratch (Nied Curcio 2022, Marye 2022, Makarov et al 2022, Shyrokov et al 2022. However, to date, nothing similar to what is described in this paper has been done.…”

South Africa is facing a literacy crisis, with the latest PIRLS results showing that 8 out of 10 learners cannot read for basic comprehension by the time they leave the foundation phase. In this climate, the development of strategies to assist educators in harnessing the available resources to maximum effect is needed. However, most teaching resources are not digitally available, and even fewer are available in formats that make them readily available for use in natural language applications.The Ngiyaqonda! project aims to provide an interactive, multimodal digital environment within which learners can practise their reading and writing skills. Computational grammars and speech technology are combined in a mobile application to facilitate the transition from oral competency in a language to written competency. In this paper, we show how words from a multilingual dictionary for foundation phase learners can be brought to digital life within the Ngiyaqonda! application to enhance the learning experience of core concepts and vocabulary.We use the official foundation phase CAPS English-isiZulu dictionary (Mbatha et al. 2018) to ensure that the content of the computational grammars is aligned with relevant learning outcomes. The result is a fully parallel, multilingual computational grammar that is aligned at the semantic level, ready to be included in the Ngiyaqonda! application.

“…Thanks to the processes of global digitalization of the world, "expanding the scope of the scientific and technical revolution in the field of information system and computer communications, the formation of the knowledge industry" (Shyrokov, 2011), requests on the development of radically new means of creating, storing, transforming and searching for information, as well as the integration of scientific fields, led to the emergence in the 20th century of Applied linguistics and Computational Linguistics, on the directions of which is Computational Lexicography. Currently, the mentioned scientific and practical areas of information technology are dynamically developing and are increasingly becoming part of our life.…”

The article deals with the factors that led to the emergence of Applied Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, and Computational Lexicography – these are the processes of global digitalization of the world, the expansion of the scale of the scientific and technical revolution in the field of information systems and computer communication, the formation of the knowledge industry, requests on the development of radically new means of creating, storing, transforming and searching for information, as well as the integration of scientific fields. It is noted that at the beginning of the 21st century, lexicography incorporated centuries-old experience of theoretical linguistics and practical linguistics in the works of lexicography, and on the other hand, it received unprecedented development prospects associated with the use of computer technologies. It is emphasized that the social significance of lexicographic products is currently growing steadily. Modern science strives to embody all aspects of acquired knowledge in dictionary form, because dictionaries not only record the totality of certain knowledge, but also serve as a reliable tool for scientific mastering of reality. The works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists on the specific topic were analysed. It has been proven that computational dictionaries as a type of social, research or educational communication are the most popular reference materials, a source of access to any type of information (technical, encyclopaedic, linguistic, etc.) due to the fixation of the modern level of knowledge, completeness, accuracy, reliability, a systematic approach to the organization and presentation of knowledge, accessibility, extreme “comfort” for use, etc. Dictionary works are also the goal and result of scientific work on linguistic and technical issues.
