Abstract/摘要：
Despite the fact that dictionaries play a key role in learning foreign languages and technology is now unavoidably present in our classrooms, to our knowledge there are no specific studies available regarding the multiple uses of digital dictionaries for Chinese. Consequently, the primary objective of this work is to conduct a mixed-method analysis of a representative sample of digital dictionaries in terms of typologies, characteristics, and possible applications in teaching Chinese as a foreign language. To achieve this goal, a spreadsheet was created using a sample of 51 dictionaries, where the data resulting from a thorough qualitative analysis were recorded. The results indicate that digital dictionaries offer numerous possibilities beyond merely looking up word meanings and their equivalents in other languages. However, the works in our corpus vary significantly in terms of informational quality, functionalities, and suitability for different user profiles and needs, among other factors. In conclusion, this research contributes to the field of teaching Chinese as a foreign language by establishing criteria for evaluating the quality and suitability of dictionaries based on various analytical parameters, thereby enabling better selection of resources according to our student profile and needs. 尽管词典在外语学习中起到了关键的作用，并且如今在课堂中不可避免地会使用科技作为辅助，但现阶段并没有关于中文数字词典使用的具体研究。因此，本研究的主要目标是对部分具有代表性的数字词典样本进行混合分析，分析其类型、特点及其在中文作为外语教学中的潜在应用。为此，笔者从51部数字词典中抽取样本，创建了一个电子表格，记录了通过详尽的定性分析得到的数据。结果表明，数字词典的功能除了单纯查找单词释义以及在其他语言中的对应词, 在其他诸多方面同样提供了可能性。然而，研究的语料库中的作品在信息质量、功能、适应用户的个人情况或需求等方面存在差异。总之，这项研究为中文作为外语的教学过程中提供了一些贡献，它为根据不同的分析参数评估词典的质量和适应性建立了标准，从而使得学生能够根据自己的水平和需求更好地选择词典。
