ASSAM, Blanche Nyangone. Planning a Dictionary for Mother Tongue Education: A Conceptual Framework for Gabonese Languages. Lexikos [online]. 2017, vol.27, pp.378-402. ISSN 2224-0039.

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.

Keywords : conceptualisation plan; dictionaries; mother tongue education; Gabon.
