Dear colleagues

Yesterday (29 October) we had the official presentation of the
Arabic-Dutch and Dutch-Arabic dictionaries which were compiled at the
department of Arabic at the University of Nijmegen (the Netherlands).

There is a website with a lot of background information and sample
pages available:
www.let.kun.nl/WBA

This site contains information about:

Dictionaries, Lexicography and Arabic Dictionaries in particular
Historical overview of the project: the stage before the actual
compilation started
Plans about how to carry out the project
the working methods
sample pages from both parts of the dictionary
difficulties encountered during the compilation
special attention to the phenomenon of collocation, which is also one
of the innovating aspects of these dictionaries
the team of collaborators
the editorial committee

other sites about Arabic lexicography and dictionaries, bibliographical
information

conclusions and observations

financial support

practical information (ISBN, price, adress of the publisher etc.)

I hope those who are interested in the project and its outcome will
take a look at this site.
Thanks and greetings
the proud editor and coordinator of the project
Jan Hoogland
