That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate. In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

The topic of the thesis is the coverage given by English learners' dictionaries to English idioms, and whether such coverage is relevant to learners of English as an L2 in Australia. I am also including a brief section on learners' dictionaries in other languages, e.g. German dictionaries written entirely in German and designed for people who want to learn German as a second or foreign language. This is where I would value suggestions by LINGUIST List colleagues. I do not have many other examples of learners' dictionaries in languages other than English. I have looked online but have only found the "Dictionnaire du français – reférénce, apprentissage” (1999) (Le Robert and CLE International). I'm hoping that LINGUIST List subscribers might give me some ideas and titles.
