[Lexicog] Lexique Pro dictionary components

[Natalie Diaz]

Dear Richard,

What makes Fieldworks and WeSay better? What are some of the drawbacks or negative qualities of Lexique?

We are about 3,000 entries and 5,000 audio and image files into the Lexique work. But we also want to create something that will benefit our community learners most.

>> Hello.

>> I am a new member to the group, and my Elders and I are using Lexique Pro to build our heritage language dictionary. I would like to get input as to which components of word meanings you believe are most important to include when building a dictionary. Right now, we have only the basics, such as the english gloss, the definition, part of speech, and we also have multiple audio and video files that allow the word to be heard in a sentence or within a story or song.

>>  
>> But we want to make it as dynamic and helpful as possible, in addition, we hope that it can be helpful to any of our learners who might enter into the linguistic field in the future.
>>  
>> As well, any suggestions or tips you might have for working with Lexique will be appreciated and helpful.
