| Abstract | ||
| The present study tackles the lexicographical tandards, criteria and properties that are required for the compilation f school dictionaries. The school dictionaries refer to these ictionaries used in the successive stages of schools to assist the tudents in language learning. This pedagogical tool is overused by the chool students side by side with the other pedagogical subjects; the chool dictionary is used not only for looking up the meaning of ocabularies, but also for pronunciation, spelling, grammar, ynonymy, antonym, use of words, and etymology. These dictionaries hould be provided with a simple language, clear definitions, xplanations, illustrative examples, and fascinating colorful pictures. The advancement of technology has extremely influenced the school ictionaries because various types of newly invented and ornamental ools have made these dictionaries more interesting and attractive; this ncreases the students’ favor for using and reading. This study aims to rovide a comprehensive account for the school dictionaries and it robes into the scientific standards of lexicography existing in these sorts of dictionaries. It also scrutinizes whether the three Kurdish dictionaries Qutabi Dictionary (Students’ Dictionary) (1985), Qutabi Dictionary (Students’ Dictionary) (2001), and Trife Dictionary (2008) meet the academic standards of lexicography. | ||
