$EVWUDFW Despite the considerable research carried out in the field of bilingual
lexicography, several aspects of the Arabic-English dictionary targeting translators
remain a largely uncharted area. One such area is “idioms” and their various
manifestations in this type of dictionary. The aim of this paper was to examine three
interrelated issues. First, it sought to determine if the bilingual dictionary (BD) covers
this particular lexical phenomenon exhaustively and systematically in its source
language component. Secondly, it examined canonical variation and its representation
in the dictionary. Finally, the paper looked into the entry point of full idioms, truncated
forms and canonical variants. The analysis demonstrated that a significantly large
number of Arabic idioms are not listed, that the coverage of idioms lacks consistency,
and that lemmatization is typically characterized by chaos and subjectivity.
