For Peter Sokolowski, a high-profile event like the 9/11 attacks or the 2012 vice-presidential debate is not just news. It's a “vocabulary event” that sends readers racing to their dictionaries.

Sokolowski is editor at large for Merriam-Webster, whose red-and-blue-jacketed Collegiate Dictionary still sits on the desk of many a student and editor. In a print-only era, it would have been next to impossible for him to track vocabulary events. Samuel Johnson, the grand old man of the modern dictionary, “could have spent a week or a month writing a given word's definition and could never have known if anyone read it”, he says.

Today, Sokolowski can and does monitor what visitors to the Merriam-Webster Web site look up—as they're doing it.

With the spread of digital technologies, dictionaries have become a two-way mirror, a record not just of words' meanings but of what we want to know. Digital dictionaries read us.

The days of displaying a thick Webster's in the parlor may be past, but dictionaries inhabit our daily lives more than we realize. "There are many more times during a day that you are interacting with a dictionary" now than ever before, says Katherine Connor Martin, head of U.S. dictionaries for Oxford University Press. Whenever you send a text or an e-mail, or read an e-book on your Nook, Kindle, or iPad, a dictionary is at your fingertips, whether or not you're aware of it.

For dictionary makers, going electronic opens up all kinds of possibilities. It's not just that digital dictionaries can be embedded in the operating systems of computers and e-readers so that they're always at hand. They can be updated far more easily and often than their print cousins, and they can incorporate material like audio pronunciations and thesauruses. Unsuccessful word "lookups," or searches that don't produce satisfying results, can point lexicographers to terms that haven't yet made their way into a particular dictionary or whose definitions need to be amended or freshened. Online readers can click a button and contribute their own word lore, extending a tradition that dates back at least as far as the late 19th century, when James Murray and his team compiled the first Oxford English Dictionary with the help of thousands of word slips sent in by the public.

Texto I

Felicidade clandestina - Clarice Lispector

    [...] No dia seguinte fui à sua casa, literalmente correndo. Ela não morava num sobrado como eu, e sim numa casa. Não me mandou entrar. Olhando bem para meus olhos, disse-me que havia emprestado o livro a outra menina, e que eu voltasse no dia seguinte para buscá-lo. Boquiaberta, saí devagar, mas em breve a esperança de novo me tomava toda e eu recomeçava na rua a andar pulando, que era o meu modo estranho de andar pelas ruas de Recife. Dessa vez nem caí: guiava-me a promessa do livro, o dia seguinte viria, os dias seguintes seriam mais tarde a minha vida inteira, o amor pelo mundo me esperava, andei pulando pelas ruas como sempre e não caí nenhuma vez.

    Mas não ficou simplesmente nisso. O plano secreto da filha do dono de livraria era tranquilo e diabólico. No dia seguinte lá estava eu à porta de sua casa, com um sorriso e o coração batendo. Para ouvir a resposta calma: o livro ainda não estava em seu poder, que eu voltasse no dia seguinte. Mal sabia eu como mais tarde, no decorrer da vida, o drama do “dia seguinte” com ela ia se repetir com meu coração batendo.

    E assim continuou. Quanto tempo? Não sei. Ela sabia que era tempo indefinido, enquanto o fel não escorresse todo de seu corpo grosso. Eu já começara a adivinhar que ela me escolhera para eu sofrer, às vezes adivinho. Mas, adivinhando mesmo, às vezes aceito: como se quem quer me fazer sofrer esteja precisando danadamente que eu sofra.

    Quanto tempo? Eu ia diariamente à sua casa, sem faltar um dia sequer. Às vezes ela dizia: pois o livro esteve comigo ontem de tarde, mas você só veio de manhã, de modo que o emprestei a outra menina. E eu, que não era dada a olheiras, sentia as olheiras se cavando sob os meus olhos espantados.

    Até que um dia, quando eu estava à porta de sua casa, ouvindo humilde e silenciosa a sua recusa, apareceu sua mãe. Ela devia estar estranhando a aparição muda e diária daquela menina à porta de sua casa. Pediu explicações a nós duas. Houve uma confusão silenciosa, entrecortada de palavras pouco elucidativas. A senhora achava cada vez mais estranho o fato de não estar entendendo. Até que essa mãe boa entendeu. Voltou-se para a filha e com enorme surpresa exclamou: mas este livro nunca saiu daqui de casa e você nem quis ler! [...]

    Como contar o que se seguiu? Eu estava estonteada, e assim recebi o livro na mão. Acho que eu não disse nada. Peguei o livro. Não, não saí pulando como sempre. Saí andando bem devagar. Sei que segurava o livro grosso com as duas mãos, comprimindo-o contra o peito. Quanto tempo levei até chegar em casa, também pouco importa. Meu peito estava quente, meu coração pensativo.

The debate about the role of education in the 21st century goes far beyond the simple transmission of facts. While technological tools have expanded access to knowledge, they have also highlighted inequalities: not every student has the same resources or the same capacity for autonomous learning. Moreover, the teacher’s role has shifted from being the sole source of information to becoming a mediator, guiding students in the development of critical thinking and adaptability. Thus, the core issue today is not whether information is available, but whether individuals are being prepared to use it wisely and ethically.
