Notes: | The data used here are coming from a dictionnary made by Claire MOYSE-FAURIE & Marie-Adèle NECHERÖ-JOREDIE in 1989. It is presented in the book Dictionnaire Xârâcùù-Français (Nouvelle-Calédonie), Nouméa : Les Editions Populaires, 288 pp. It provides a phonological, greographical, and sociolinguistical introduction to the Xârâcùù, language spoken in the Kouaoua-Canala-Thio areas (located on the east cost of the New Caledonia Main Land ('Grande-Terre'). This book, intended to speakers usage, provides two lexicons, one in xârâcùù-french, and one in french-xârâcùù. Methodology used here to enter the lexical data : - The synonymy has been reduced by going through both lexicons. - When two words in Xârâcùù are presented with a slash (for instance "xãⁿdɨ/xãⁿdɤ", it means that those words are two morphological forms of the same word (generally related to geographical distribution of this word). - When both simple words and compound words are possible in Xârâcùù to translate a word in the list, we have opted for the simple words. - When a word is not phonologically autonomous (i.e being a prefix or a suffix), a dash has been put after the word (prefix) or before the word (suffix). - When a word in the list can not be translated by a single general item in xârâcùù, some semantic specifications for each one of them have been provided in the 'author annotation' column. | |
