Item description from seller

228 Seiten Fresh and Clean copy in good condition with some signs of wear. Frisches und sauberes Exemplar in gutem Zustand mit einigen Gebrauchsspuren. "The English entries in this dictionary are based on the English-German section of the bilingual German and English Dictionary of Everyday Usage.* A number of changes were of course necessary, both in form and content, to meet the requirements of the differences between American and Moroccan cultural and linguistic uses. Our aim has been to present the core vocabulary of everyday conversational usage. Technical and literary matters have been largely avoided. The major part of the labor of compiling Moroccan equivalents for the English entries was done by Thomas Fox and Allal Chreibi under the editorial supervision of Dr. Harvey Sobelman. Alan McAninch, Majid Soussane, and Mohamed Neheiri also made substantial contributions. The contributions of Mohamed Benlemlih and Abdel Wahab El-Berday must also be mentioned, although they were able to give us only a limited amount of their time. After the completion of the first draft of the dictionary, the undersigned accepted the task of giving the material a final editorial reworking. In the course of this final revision the entire dictionary was reread and extensive additions, deletions, and corrections were made. In the compilation of the dictionary, as great a contribution as that of anyone individual was made by a Moroccan colleague who has requested that his name be withheld. A conscientious worker with a passion for accuracy, this colleague wished to reread all the material and make a final check on the accuracy of the Moroccan entries. When this proved impossible because of time limitations, he preferred to have his name withheld. Since it is impossible to spell out in detail exactly who wrote which entries, he scrupulously wished to refuse possible implicit responsibility for parts of the dictionary that were not his work. Since much of what is good and very little of the possibly bad which is to be found in this book is due to the work of this colleague, it is only fair to recognize the importance of his contribution in these general terms. The composition of this first English-Moroccan dictionary proved unusually difficult, quite aside from the normal technical problems of dictionary making. The ideal compiler of a bilingual dictionary is a person with professional linguistic training and a comprehensive command of both languages involved. There exists not even one person who has such qualifications in English, Moroccan Arabic, and scientific linguistics. Our staff consisted of American linguists and assistants with a limited knowledge of Moroccan Arabic, and Moroccan informants with varying degrees of proficiency in English." - From the Preface by editor, Richard S.
