“…Le français demeure donc au Gabon, la langue véhiculaire par excellence, la langue de l'administration et des médias ainsi que le passage obligé à la promotion sociale (Nyangone Assam et Mavoungou, 2000). C'est précisément ce statut particulier du français et l"interdit de vie publique" des langues locales qui fait dire à Ndinga- Koumba-Binza (2005a, 2006aet 2007 que le Gabon n'est pas un Etat multilingue mais plutôt un pays à diversité linguistique et dont l'unique langue revêtant le caractère national est le français, parce que parlé par 90% de la population et seule explicitement mentionnée dans la Constitution.…”

However, users do not only rely on dictionaries as containers of linguistic knowledge but they consult dictionaries to get guidance regarding cultural and encyclopaedic issues. This is especially true in multilingual and multicultural environments where dictionaries are used to translate from one language to another but also to ensure a better understanding of the culture of the speech communities of the languages represented in the dictionary. As utility instruments, dictionaries should be compiled in such a way that the intended target user is in the position to achieve a successful dictionary consultation procedure by managing an optimal retrieval of information. A prerequisite for this success is that a dictionary needs to have a sound theoretical basis.Recent metalexicographic research has not only focused on the contents of dictionaries but also on their structure and the way in which lexicographers could and should work towards user-driven dictionaries. In this regard the research of Dr. Paul Achille Mavoungou makes an important contribution to the metalexicographic literature.In this book Dr. Mavoungou focuses on dictionary making in Gabon, but he does it within a clearly-defined theoretical framework. His outline of the Yilumbu language and the lexicographic activities in Gabon serves as a valuable background for the discussion that follows. And his account of the theoretical framework and basic elements of lexicography can be regarded as a very useful introduction to core aspects of metalexicography.The most important contribution of this work is the way in which he leads the reader into the sphere of theoretical lexicography and then confronts that reader with the practical lexicographic issues of Yilumbu with a model for the compilation of dictionaries directed at the specific needs and reference skills of a well-identified target user group. Although the focus is on Yilumbu, many of the theoretical proposals made by Dr. Mavoungou are not of a language-specific natu...

Abstract:The present article is a plea for mother tongue education dictionary projects in Gabonese lexicography. The latter has been in a fast-developing process for the past twenty years and has experienced quite an important crop of dictionary products in such a short time. However, the production of dictionaries for mother tongue education, especially for Gabonese native languages, has been totally neglected. Only a very limited number of projects, which have ever since remained at the level of studies, do exist. This article provides a conceptual plan for mother tongue education dictionary production in Gabonese native languages. It successively suggests an organisation plan and a dictionary conceptualisation plan.
