Alhoewel die jongste woordeboeke vir die Engelse aanleerdersmark geprys word vir hulle vernuwendeontwerpkenmerke, is die hoofbelang van gebruikers, leksikograwe en metaleksikograwedie funksionele kwaliteit van die woordeboeke op die mark. Die funksionele kwaliteit van woordeboekeen hoe dit wetenskaplik bepaal kan word, is die hooftema van hierdie artikel. In afdeling 2word die funksionele kwaliteit van &apos;n woordeboek nader omskryf. Afdeling 3 gee &apos;n uiteensettingvan die metodologie wat op die gebied van webgebaseerde onderrig en teksontwerp gevolg wordom die funksionele kwaliteit van tekste te bepaal en die relevansie daarvan vir woordeboekontwerpword aangedui. Die gebruik van hierdie metodologie vir die ontwerp van funksionele woordeboekeen vir die vasstelling van die funksionele kwaliteit van die ontwerpkenmerke van bestaandewoordeboeke word in afdeling 4 bespreek.
