Abstract:
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide the American teacher or sponsor with information on the use, limitations and availability of dictionaries that can be used by Indochinese refugees. The introductory material contains descriptions of both monolingual and bilingual dictionaries, a discussion of the inadequacies of bilingual dictionaries in the areas of meaning, equivalence and grammar, and advice on choosing a dictionary. The annotated bibliography includes 16 bilingual dictionaries and glossaries in Vietnamese, Cambodian, Khmer, Lao, Meo, Hmong and English; one in Vietnamese, English and French; one in Hmong and French; and two monolingual English dictionaries for ESL students. A list of publishers' addresses is appended. (AMH)
