The Arabic/English Thematic Lexicon by Daniel Newman



The Arabic / English Thematic Lexicon is an invaluable resource for all learners of Arabic.
It contains some 8,000 entries, arranged into themes, including flora
and fauna, food and drink, the human body, health care, the family,
housing, clothing, education, IT, sports, politics, economics and
commerce, the law, media, language, geography, travel, religion, arts,
science and natural resources. Three appendices cover the names of Arab
and selected non-Arab regions, countries and capitals, and
international organizations.
The entries in the Lexicon have been drawn from an extensive corpus of
contemporary Standard Arabic vocabulary, based on authentic sources. In
addition to verbs, nouns and adjectives, the Lexicon includes phrases
and commonly used collocations, providing users with the necessary
vocabulary in order to communicate effectively and confidently in both
written and spoken Standard Arabic.
The Lexicon provides an indispensable complement to Arabic grammar
instruction and also serves as a useful reference guide for all Arabic
language users.
Daniel Newman is Reader in Arabic and Course Director of the MA in Arabic/English Translation at the University of Durham.
