| An overview of Western Pantar | [home] |
The documentation of the Western Pantar lexicon is a work-in-progress. The current version (25 July 2007) contains 2189 headwords, 702 sub-entries, and 1183 example sentences. Definitions are provided in both Indonesian and English. The lexicon was compiled using Toolbox and is made available here via the export facilities of Lexique Pro. The lexicon is available in two formats: a web-based version which uses frame-based navigation, and a stand-alone program which requires installtion (Windows platform only :( ). The web-based version is not entirely reliable using the Mozilla Firefox web browser but seems to work fine using Safari on Mac or Internet Explorer with Windows. The stand-alone version includes links to sound files (only about 150 sound clips have been linked so far), while the web-version does not (yet) contain sound files.
Please bear in mind that this is an unfinished draft, representing perhaps sllightly more than half of the easily-documented lexicon. Many of the entries have yet to be thoroughly verified and hence should not be cited or quoted without first checking with the authors.

A print copy of the Indonesian version of the lexicon was distributed on a limited basis in mid-July 2007. The introduction to this version (in Indonesian) is available for download as a pdf file.
