DUTCH-JAPANESE DICTIONARY TO BE PUBLISHED

By Paul Wijsman

In November of this year the Japanese publisher Kodansha will
publish a Dutch-Japanese dictionary. The last Dutch-Japanese
dictionary was published 51 years ago, and until now there
were no up-to-date Dutch-Japanese (or Japanese-Dutch)
dictionaries. The new dictionary will contain some 50.000 main
entries and is an improved and adapted version of 'Kramers
Dutch-English dictionary'. The editorial supervision is
conducted by the Japan Netherland Institute in Tokyo and the
Leiden University professors Boot and Van Sterkenburg.
For Dutch students of the Japanese language an up-to-date
Japanese-Dutch dictionary will be convenient, but no plans are
made for such a dictionary yet.
