Abstract

KIU is an online bilingual Swahili–Italian dictionary with about 6000 entries aimed primarily at Italian L1 Swahili learners and which has been developed at the University of Naples 'L'Orientale'. The project was started in 2003 by M. Toscano and developed with the collaboration of language experts and young researchers until 2009 with the aim of offering online lexical resources from Swahili to Italian for learners of the language. After a long interruption, the work was resumed in 2019 by the authors of this article in cooperation with M. Toscano and a team of expert IT technicians. The current work consists of the development ex novo of the dictionary software, which had become obsolete, along with a redesign of some lexicographic features. In this report we will show how the upgraded version of the dictionary software has been implemented, with relevant learner-oriented features, by taking into consideration the standard lexicographic characteristics of Swahili–Italian bilingual dictionaries. This dictionary represents a valuable support for L2 learners and is the only on-line Swahili–Italian dictionary expressly built for university students and Italian users at large. Keywords: Swahili, Italian, online dictionary, learners, lexicography

KIU(斯瓦希里语-意大利语-UniOr):面向意大利语母语斯瓦希里语学习者的UniOr在线词典

KIU是一个在线双语斯瓦希里语-意大利语词典，有大约6000个条目，主要针对意大利语L1斯瓦希里语学习者，由那不勒斯大学东方大学开发。该项目于2003年由托斯卡诺先生启动，并在语言专家和年轻研究人员的合作下发展到2009年，旨在为语言学习者提供从斯瓦希里语到意大利语的在线词汇资源。经过长时间的中断，本文作者与托斯卡诺先生和一个专家IT技术团队合作，于2019年恢复了这项工作。目前的工作包括重新开发已经过时的词典软件，以及重新设计一些词典编纂功能。在本报告中，我们将展示如何实现词典软件的升级版本，并考虑到斯瓦希里语-意大利语双语词典的标准词典编纂特征，具有相关的面向学习者的功能。本词典为第二语言学习者提供了宝贵的支持，是唯一专门为大学生和意大利语用户构建的在线斯瓦希里语-意大利语词典。关键词:斯瓦希里语，意大利语，在线词典，学习者，词典编纂
