A Frequency Dictionary of Arabic is an invaluable tool for all
learners of Arabic, providing a list of the 5,000 most frequently
used words in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) as well as several of
the most widely spoken Arabic dialects.
Based on a 30-million-word corpus of Arabic which includes
written and spoken material from the entire Arab world, this
dictionary provides the user with detailed information for each of
the 5,000 entries, including English equivalents, a sample
sentence, its English translation, usage statistics, an indication
of genre variation, and usage distribution over several major
Arabic dialects.
Users can access the top 5,000 words either through the main
frequency listing or through an alphabetical index arranged by
Arabic roots. Throughout the frequency listing there are
thematically-organized lists of the top words from a variety of key
topics such as sports, weather, clothing, and family terms.
An engaging and highly useful resource, A Frequency Dictionary
of Arabic will enable students of all levels to get the most out of
their study of modern Arabic vocabulary.
A CD version is available to purchase separately. Designed for
use by corpus and computational linguists it provides the full text
in a format that researchers can process and turn into suitable
lists for their own research work.
