The preceding chapter has substantiated the hypothesis that the basis for the Dictionnaire de la langue franque was laid by the diplomat scholar William B. Hodgson who conducted research on LF in Algiers. The present chapter develops our knowledge of the Dictionnaire’s sources by focusing on the publications which provided Hodgson with conceptual models for this work. Section 3.1 introduces two Italian grammars which were used as models for the Dictionnaire’s preface, LF dialogues, and Arabic vocabulary: Veneroni (1800) and Vergani (1823). Section 3.2 examines the use of the learner’s dialogues in Vergani (1823) as a model for the Dictionnaire’s dialogues in LF.
