[Lexicog] visual dictionaries

[Nicholas Thieberger]

Ron,

There are a number of picture dictionaries for Australian languages, 
those from Central Australia can be ordered here:

http://shopping.iad.edu.au/store/listCategoriesAndProducts.shop?idCategory=16

An early and nicely illustrated one is Wilf Douglas 1977 Illustrated 
topical dictionary of the western desert language : Warburton Ranges 
dialect, Western Australia

Goddard, C. (1982)  Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara picture 
vocabulary, IAD, Alice Springs.


There are a number of others in similar forms

I scanned the artwork for the IAD picture dictionary and it is 
available via ASEDA, see

>A visual dictionary would be composed of pictures with labels. A

>labeled in the vernacular (and perhaps the national language). 
>Another page might contain a large picture of a house with each part 
>labeled. If anyone knows of a dictionary that has employed this type 
>of format, I would appreciate knowing how to obtain a copy.
