  Dear all-
   We (William Marslen-Wilson, Fermin Msocoso Del Prado Martin, Samah
Alnsary, and myself)are working on a 3-year British Academy grant to
develop a lexical data base for Arabic. We will
appreciate your input on what you think, you as linguists,
psycholinguists, sociolinguists, language professionals, or whatever may
hope to see in such a product. It will obviously feature
information about surface form frequency (i.e. stem frequency),
lemma frequency, root frequency, word pattern frequency, root
family size, word pattern family size. And for every form (i.e. stem)
there will be an English gloss. Do you think there is any other kind of
information worth adding while we still are at the planning stage.
thanks for your input
Sami Boudelaa
