## Description

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. Former CD content is now available to access at www.routledge.com/9780415444347 as support material. 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. Tim Buckwalter is Research Associate at the University of Maryland. Dilworth Parkinson is Professor of Arabic at Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah.

Review: Great Asset for an Arabic Student - A truly wonderful aid for a student in Media Arabic (4th Year): saves me time and lets me know how important a word is. It won't replace your Hans Wehr or your other comprehensive dictionary but helps smooth the road. Also, reading through the entries reminds me of how much I do know, which is heartening and encouraging, as I find my way through the maze that is the Arabic language. A must have for an Advanced to Media Arabic student.
Review: One of a kind resource with one small drawback - This is a truly outstanding resource for anyone looking to build their Arabic vocabulary and take their Arabic skills to a higher level. The only reason this is not a 5 star review is because the authors omitted an alphabetical index in English. As a student of Arabic, when you may not know the word in Arabic but remember looking up the word and remember the English, it is really crucial to have that. Unfortunately, with it missing, you are left to jog your memory and get lucky and remember, search for an extended period of time looking for the word, or simply give up because you've spent to much time. As a person looking to maximize my time, this was a big negative. Having said that, I'd still buy this book for the wealth of details in the book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Asset for an Arabic Student
*by A***O on October 7, 2012*

A truly wonderful aid for a student in Media Arabic (4th Year): saves me time and lets me know how important a word is. It won't replace your Hans Wehr or your other comprehensive dictionary but helps smooth the road. Also, reading through the entries reminds me of how much I do know, which is heartening and encouraging, as I find my way through the maze that is the Arabic language. A must have for an Advanced to Media Arabic student.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As an Arabic student, my fellow students are envious of this resource
*by J***N on February 21, 2013*

In addition to presenting a comprehensive list of the most common Arabic words, its myriad other features make this book invaluable. Authentic sample sentences provide essential context for word use, and alternate uses are presented with the word whenever an additional particle or other contextual cue changes the general meaning. The thematic tables included alone make for a fantastic at-a-glance guide to topical vocabulary. All in all, this book has been a great experience.
