<div>This is a huge project for a master thesis. Its scope
should be defined to make it feasible. Questions like the following
should be asked:</div>
<div>- What kind of Arabic, classic or modern standard Arabic?</div>
<div>- If it it classic, should the Quran be included?</div>
<div>- Should poetry be included?</div>
<div>- If it is modern standard Arabic, which time is to be considered
as the beginning of its period?</div>
<div>- Is it general MSA, or specialized? I mean scientific,
technical, journalistic, etc.</div>
<div>- What is the scope of collocation? Is it bound, restricted,
general co-occurrences and word associations, or all of these?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The following bibliography can be useful:</div>

<div>Tomoko Kondo asked for references to information about making a
pocket dictionary of collocation. To get an idea of what is
involved in making a dictionary, Tomoko might consult Virginia
Stevens' paper on "Compiling and English-to-Egyptian Arabic
Dictionary: Difficulties Encountered", published in Alaa
Elgibali, ed. 1996. Understanding Arabic: Essays in
Contemporary Arabic Linguistics in Honor of El-Said Badawi.
Cairo: American University in Cairo Press. Pp. 145-156.<br>
<br>
The paper deals with problems regarding transcription, vocabulary,
etc. that she and Maurice Salib ran into when compiling their Pocket
Dictionary of the Spoken Arabic of Cairo (Cairo: AUC Press) (2/e
1998).</div>
