1.9 the
staff of the project
The collaborators to the project of compiling
the Nijmegen Arabic Dictionaries can be classified in different categories:
Editors were collaborators who were
entitled to independently enter data in the database, change data or even remove
data from the database. This group consisted of editors who are native speakers
of Arabic and one editor who is an arabist and a native speaker of Dutch.
These editors are (in alphabetical order):
 |
Hassan Barzizaoua (Morocco)
|
 |
Rabha Heinen-Nasr (Egypt) |
 | Azzouz Ifzaren (Morocco) |
 | Monique IJzendoorn (the Netherlands) |
 | Achmed Khabbazeh (Syria) |
 | Choumissa Sadki (Morocco) |
The fact that three editors originate from
Morocco may seem an overrepresentation of Morocco, but all three editors of
Moroccan origin contributed to the project successively.
Assistants were collaborators who were
hired to enter or correct data that were supplied to them by editors or the
project coordinator. They were not entitled to enter or change data
independently. Most of them were just graduated or students in an advanced stage
of their study of Arabic.
These collaborators are (in alphabetical order):
 |
Aicha Amzika |
 | Tressy Arts |
 | Joost Kremers |
 | Oulfa Rouached |
 | Nadja Schwarz |
 | Chantal Sniekers |
Then there is the category of collaborators who
have provided advice, for example on lacking translations of
problematic Dutch words or expressions, or they checked part of the data. Most
of them were not actually based in Nijmegen, but rendered their services from
their own locations.
These collaborators are (in alphabetical order):
 |
Walid Abouzeid |
 | Elsaid Badawi |
 | Jeen Dosky |
 | Anita van Duijn |
 | Hayat El Koun |
 | Rob Ermers |
 | Hassan Mizori |
 | Fransje Zweekhorst |
Finally the project was supported by a
guiding commission of experts. This commission was installed by the
principal the CLVV, in order to monitor the execution of the project. This
commission consisted of three scientists:
 |
Willy Smedts, professor of General Linguistics
at the University of Leuven (Belgium), member of the CLVV, president of the
counselling commission |
 | Emilio Platti, professor of Arabic at the
University of Leuven (Belgium) |
 | Jan Jaap de Ruiter, arabist, assistant
professor of Arabic at the University of Tilburg (the Netherlands) |
