  9. Dictionaryof Tunis Arabic - micro-diachronic and machine-readable - up-to-date and easily accessible lexical information - incorporation of: a) contemporary data from a digital corpus b) various historical sources (e.g. Stumme, H.) - information added is kept traceable to its origin - basis: data taken from didactic materials - 3 other main sources: newly created corpus, interviews and historical publications

  10. Dictionary of Tunis ArabicContemporary sources 1) Corpus of spoken youth language (dialogues, narratives): uncommon approach in Arabic dialectology: dialectological interests in language of older people --> only older forms of particular varieties known focus on modern language, contemporary usage and lexical neologisms 2) Additional interviews to complete the data gained from corpus and historical sources

  11. Dictionary of Tunis ArabicHistorical sources - 800-page grammar of the Medina of Tunis by Hans-Rudolf Singer (1984): evaluation of data, integration of excerpted lexicographic data into dictionary - Verification and completion of collected data with other historical resources - Diachronic dimension helps to understand processes in the development of the lexicon - Material gathered will allowanalysis of recent developments (migration of parents from rural areas, influence by other Arabic varieties, influence of revolution, foreign elements)

  14. Dictionary of Tunis ArabicTechnical issues • Using the TEI dictionary module to encode digitised print dictionaries is a fairly common standard procedure in digital humanities. • The TEI dictionary module needs to be further constrained: • to enhance interoperability • to reduce alternate constructs • to achieve a high degree of compliance with LMF (ISO 24613) • Easy to impose in the creation of digitally born dictionaries.
