Description

The European Portuguese-Standard Arabic Dictionary (DPEAP) project was developed within a Framework Agreement for Cooperation between the Mohammed V University and the Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, under a cooperation protocol between the Institut of Hispanic and Lusophone Studies (IEHL), the coordinating institution, and the Lexicology, Lexicography and Terminology Group of the Linguistics Research Centre of NOVA University of Lisbon (CLUNL).

The DPEAP is aimed at an audience of Arabic-speaking university students learning Portuguese, and is a useful linguistic resource not only for students, but also for teachers, translators and professionals from other areas (economics, commerce, business, tourism, among others).

The CLUNL team was in charge of the lexicographic consultancy and training of the project, having been essential to the reflection on the methodologies to be adopted for the elaboration of a bilingual dictionary and to the definition of the objectives to be achieved, taking into account the target public for whom the dictionary is intended, as reflected in the results of the project.

The procedures to be adopted in the compilation of the dictionary, the metalexicographical information to include and its possible reflection in the microstructure of the entries were proposed based on a reiterated work of revising and recomposing entries of the letters A and B. Several actions and training events were also carried out, as well as tasks of phonetic transcription and syntactic description of verbal constructions and tasks of validating the synchronic and cultural adequacy of definitions and examples for Portuguese.
