A critical study of the structure of bilingual dictionaries from the point of view of their usefulness to translators
The main concern of this study is how the bilingual dictionary of Arabic and English can serve the ArabicEnglish translator in his task of translating all types of Arabic texts. In order to achieve this objective a few issues and problems in bilingual lexicography have been discussed in this thesis and certain recommendations have been made. The thesis is divided in four chapters plus an appendix, as follows: - Chapter I discusses various aspects of the structure of the Arabic word, as it constitutes the largest number of lexical entries in the dictionary. Chapter II discusses the issue of word-meaning and bilingual equivalence and is divided into two sections: Section A discusses the signification of the word. Section B discusses bilingual equivalence in relation to the Ar-Eng dictionary, including discussions of certain semantic relations, viz., a1'ishtirak a11afZiy 'homonymy', a1taraduf 'synonymy' and a1' aDdad 'contranyms' (see Ch. III), and semantic fields theory. - Chapter III addresses the question of how translators would like the bilingual dictionary prepared for their own needs, and is divided into two sections as follows: Section A introduces the Ar-Eng Translator's Dictionary (AETD) as proposed
