Hi Ron,

I am glad to hear from you. I am waiting for DDP version 5 impatiently. Regarding the abbreviation ICT, I wanted to talk about Information and Communication Technology and other related fields. With new technologies, a 'flood' of words is confusing us. We need a way of ordering/classifying them.


Thanks,

Emmanuel Habumuremyi

I’m currently working on DDP version 5 and I’m looking for suggestions
on how to improve the list of semantic domains. Could you tell me what ICT is?
I’m not familiar with the abbreviation.
Thanks,
Ron Moe

Dear members of the group,

I am very happy to wish you a prosperous year. Allow me to tell you what I noticed in the new testing release of the software mentioned in the Subject. Starting by Fieldworks, this is really a tool which responds to the linguist's need of collecting and organizing data to be retrieved at the right time. For me it is "All in One" tool.

As far as LexiquePro is concerned, I have not much to say since it speaks by itself. Basing on its current test version, the feature of searching words based on their PoS pleased me and helped in correcting some mistakes in my database. 

Concerning WeSay, I am afraid it is going to replace all other tools we are using since it is integrating all our needs in word collection! This is not a dramatization. The fact that one can look at his/her work in LexiquePro without quitting WeSay, making a PDF Dictionary in very few seconds, and exporting Fieldwoks dictionary data in LIFT which is compatible with WeSay encourage me in my work. Even though WeSay is its in early stage of development, and improvement is needed for some features, this is a tool for our future linguistic carrier.

Let's close my message with admirable Semantic Domains by Ron. I hope a new version with current concepts like the ones in ICT will be out soon.

Try these tools, you will tell me.
