==> Linguistic Dynamics in the Greater Tunis Area: A Corpus-based Approach
Funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF, P 25706-G23)
Main objectives:
Exploration of spoken, contemporary Arabic
Two digital language resourcesCorpus of spoken youth language
Dictionary of Tunis Arabic
Arabic dialect lexicography
No comprehensive dictionary of the Arabic dialect of Tunis
Basis for diachronic research:• Nicolas, A. (1911). Dictionnaire français-arabe• Beaussier, M. (2006). Dictionnaire pratique arabe-français (arabe maghrébin)• Quéméneur, J. (1961). “Notes sur quelques vocables du parler Tunisien”• Quéméneur, J. (1962). “Glossaire de dialectal”• Abdellatif, K. (2010). Dictionnaire «le Karmous» du Tunisien • Marçais, W. , Guîga, A. (1958-61). Textes arabes de Takroûna. II: Glossaire
Dictionary of Tunis Arabic
- micro-diachronic and machine-readable- up-to-date and easily accessible lexical information - incorporation of:a) contemporary data from a digital corpusb) 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
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 olderforms of particular varieties knownfocus on modern language, contemporary usage and lexicalneologisms
2) Additional interviews to complete the data gained from corpus and historical sources
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 allow analysis of recent developments (migration of parents from rural areas, influence by other Arabic varieties, influence of revolution, foreign elements)

Modelling the data
Interoperability
TEI P5
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.
