REVIEWS Dictionaries, 1 (1979) REVIEWS J. van Donselaar, Woordenboek van het Surinaams-Nederlands. Een geannoteerde lijst van Surinaams-Nederlandse woorden en uitdrukkingen. Utrecht: Instituut A. W. de Groot voor Algemene Taalwetenschap van de Rijksuniversiteit te Utrecht, 1976 [cl977] . 232 p., paper. Van Donselaar's remarkable new dictionary of Surinamese Dutch brings scientific lexicographic method into a field which had hitherto been characterized by dUettantism, prescriptivism, or an antiquarian-folkloristic approach: the writing of dictionaries for non-European variants of languages whose main body when one compares van Donselaar's work with dictionaries or word-lists of Canadian French, Pennsylvania German, etc. Surinamese Dutch is a variety of the language with roots going back three hundred years. It is in general mutuaUy inteUigible with European Dutch. It is not unitary, but may be described as a continuum of language variation between two theoretical poles: the European-like Dutch of those younger educated Surinamese who have lived in The Netherlands or had much contact of speakers and normative organs remain in Europe. The contrast is very clear with Dutchmen, and a "deep" variety with a maximum of non-European features. Students of lexicographic method can be grateful to van Donselaar for his detaüed discussion of his own work
