[Lexicog] popular lexicography

[Jimm GoodTracks]

What is the need to label such dictionaries?  Is it to boast one's
professional linguistic sophistication?  There are "dictionary" word lists
and phrases composed by the community Ioway, Otoe-Missouria elders.  Their
contribitions to the community language literacy is noted and regarded.
Community members still find their materials of value.  Their notations have
been incorporated in to a more standard orthography based on linguistic
knowledge.  Yet, for many of the community members, the "unsophisticated"
writting systems can be a stepping stone for them into a more dignified and
phonetically correct orthography.  Perhaps this need to label is simply a
professional academic exercise amongst peers which has little reception and
value for the members in the language community itself for whom they wish to
assist with language documentation, lexicography, etc. to bring literacy and
maintainence to the eommunity speakers.
