A Frequency Dictionary of Arabic
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 Arabjc (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. Tim Buckwalter is Research Associate at the University of Maryland . Dilworth Parkinson is Professor of Arabic at Brigham Young University (Provo, Utah).

Series preface
Frequency information has a central role to play in learning a language. Nation (1990) showed that the 4,000-5,000 most frequent words account for up to 95 percent of a written text and the 1,000 most frequent words account for 85 percent of speech. Although Nation 's results were only for English, they do provide clear evidence that, when employing frequency as a general guide for vocabulary learning, it is. possible to acquire a lexicon which will serve a learner well most of the time. There are two caveats to bear in mind here. First, counting words is not as straightforwarg as it might seem. Gardner (2007) highlights the problems that multiple word meanings, the presence of multiword items, and grouping words into families or lemmas, have on counting and analyzing words. Second, frequency data contained in frequency dictionaries should never act as the only information source to guide a learner. Frequency information is nonetheless a very good starting point, and one which may produce rapid benefits. It therefore seems rational to prioritize learning the words that you are likely to hear and read most often. That is the philosophy behind this series of dictionaries. Lists of words and their frequencies have long been available for teachers and learners of language. For example, Thorndike (1921, 1932) and Thorndike and Lorge (1944) produced word frequency books with counts of word occurrences in texts used in the education of American children. Michael West's General Service List of English Words (1953) was primarily aimed at foreign learners of Engli sh. More recently, with the aid of efficient computer software and very large bodies of language data (called corpora), researchers have been able to provide more sophisticated frequency counts from both written text and transcribed speech . One important feature of the resulting frequencies presented in this series is that they are derived from recently collected language data. The earlier lists for English included samples from, for example, Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, thus they could no longer represent present-day language in any sense. Frequency data derived from a large representative corpus of a language brings students closer to language as it is used in real life as opposed to textbook language (which often distorts the frequencies of features in a language, see Ljung, 1990). The information in these dictionaries is presented in a number of formats to allow users to access the data in different ways. So, if you would prefer not to simply drill down through the word frequency li st, but would rather focus on verbs for example, the part of speech index will allow you to focus on just the most frequent verbs . Given that verbs typically account for 20 percent of all words in a language, this may be a good strategy. Also, a focus on function words may be equally rewarding - 60 percent of speech in English is composed of a mere 50 function words. The series also provides information of use to the language teacher. The idea that frequency information may have a role to play in syllabus design is not new (see, for example, Sinclair and Renouf, 1988). However, to date it has been difficult for those teaching languages other than English to use frequency information in syllabus design because of a lack of data.

Series preface
Frequency information should not be studied to the exclusion of other contextual and situational knowledge about language use and we may even doubt the validity of frequency information derived from large corpora. It is interesting to note that Alderson (2007) found that corpus frequencies may not match a native speaker's intuition about estimates of word frequency and that a set of estimates of word frequencies collected from language experts varied widely. Thus corpus-derived frequencies are still the best current estimate of a word's importance that a learner will come across. Around the time of the construction of the first machine-readable corpora, Halliday (1971 : 344) stated that "a rough indication of frequencies is often just what is needed'~ Our aim in this series is to provide as accurate as possible estimates of word frequencies.

We are indebted to a number of research assistants who put in countless hours on this project, most notably Bashar Sadr, Muhammed Barakat, Amany Ezzat, and Najwa Ezzat. We are also indebted to a number of students from Brigham Young University who helped with this project: Jeff Smith, David Tensmeyer, Laila Lamani , Shereen Salah, Rana Derwy, Mira Ansari, Falah Alsiekh, and Mais Yahya. We are particularly indebted to Julie Vonwiller, Director of Appen Pty Limited , for providing us with the transcripts of an Algerian speech corpus col1Jpiled by Appen. The first author is indebted to Arabic language experts Elizabeth M. Bergman from Miami University (Ohio) and Jonathan Owens from the University of Bayreuth, who provided assistance in interpreting data from the Algerian speech corpus. He would also like to express his gratitude to the University of Maryland Center for Advanced Study of Language (CASL) staff for their encouragement and support, especially during the analysis of Arabic dialect data. He also wishes to acknowledge the valuable assistance he received from Arabic dialect experts associated with research at CASL: Peter Schultz provided advice on vocabulary items from numerous dialects and proofread an early draft, and Sana Smith helped with difficult Algerian and Levantine lexical items. And finally, the first author is extremely grateful to his supportive wife Crissie who also provided research and editing in the final and critical stages of this work. He dedicates this dictionary to his parents, Albert and Lois, former missionaries, Bible translators, and lexicographers among the Toba Indians of the Argentine Chaco. The second author would like to thank Brigham Young University and Dean John Rosenberg of the College of Humanities, as well as Prof Kirk Belnap of the National Middle East Language Resource Center, for significant financial support for this project. He dedicates this book to his wife, Laura Beth, who is always up for another 'adventure' in the Arab World, and to his students, from whom he derives continual inspiration and admiration from their intense desire to reach across cultures and connect with people.
