We have become accustomed to seeing reference works in CD-ROM format, such as the Oxford English dictionary, often alongside equivalent hardcopy publications. By contrast, Taitaduhaan (‘Our language’) is not a reference work, and it is published not merely in that familiar electronic format but rather as an interactive CD-ROM, in which the user can move with a finger-click from written text, to video images, to audio recordings. Is this a “book,” or an entirely new form of publishing? In any case, “reading” it is definitely a new experience for us in these first years of the 21st century.
