In order to have a good idea about what goes on in the francophone
world I would advise you to read Alain Vuillemin (ed.) "Bases de
donnees litteraires, comparatistes et francophones", Limoges:
Presses de l'Universite de Limoges (PULIM), 1993, pp. 276, ISBN:
2-910016-17-X.

rhyming dictionary
I spent a few years in workshops with the poet Robin Skelton
at the Creative Writing Dept. at the University of Victoria. He said as
far as he was concerned there was only one useful dictionary: WalkerØs
terminological dictionary. The words are arranged in reverse order.
Most dictionaries are very poor as they assume there are no distinctions
in rhyme, a word either does or does not. This is the equivalent of a
volume of ten versus zero. Intruth, as any poet will tell you, there are
tremendous distinctions between the two extremes to the ear. A reverse
order dictionary gives you everything from hard to soft to no rhyme.
Howevere, having bought one, I never use it.
