Resumen

This diploma paper deals with the design and building of a bilingual lexicon app for studying and translating texts on sociocultural topics. The entries for the bilingual lexicon app have been extracted from texts of socio cultural topics taken from Encarta Encyclopedia 2009 and have been built using information from several dictionaries. The main objective of the bilingual lexicon app is to facilitate the translation process for thirdyear English Language students at the Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas so that they can use the bilingual lexicon app both as a reference resource and as a study aid for the learning of bilingual lexis useful for sociocultural topics. The bilingual lexicon app proposed is described in detail in the present diploma paper and its linguistic, didactic and reference characteristics are described.
