bicommunal 条@ 陆谷孙·英汉大词典 & Merriam-Webster
本帖最后由 cici920 于 2016-9-29 01:58 编辑引用自"Merriam Webster" bicommunal词条
:involving or including two distinct communities of people :of, relating to, or being a society composed of two distinct or separate communities often with conflicting interests
<In the Canadian federation, there is a strong bicommunal element, given the fundamental English-speaking and French-speaking division. — Ronald L. Watts, Autonomy and Ethnicity: Negotiating Competing Claims in Multi-ethnic States, 2000>
<In any case, neither the EU nor any supranational structure would possess any innate advantage in attempts to resolve bicommunal disputes such as that in Northern Ireland. — Derek W. Urwin, Regions and Regionalism in Europe, 2004>
<Perhaps most importantly, Rwanda can be described as a bicommunal society.
This term refers to a society where over 80 percent of the population belongs to one of two well-defined identity groups. Also, the two groups in Rwanda/卢旺达 are not in balance.
Bicommunal societies are marked by social differentiation and segregation, which often results in political separation or conflict. — John James Quinn et al., Ethnic Conflict and International Politics, 2004>
这个应该是个新收录的词，Oxford, OED, AmericanHeritageDict, Webster's New World, Vocabulary.com, Merriam-Webster Collegiate都没有收录。
在线的这个应该是 Merriam-Webster unabridged收录的。
另外，看了下关于 Merriam-Webster unabridged与Merriam-Webster collegiate的区别。

21世纪大英汉词典 有收录
bicommunal
adj. (国家)由两个民族社区组成的，双社区的
2003年1月第一版
李华驹的 21世纪中型英汉词典；2005年4月第一版，收录了该词
陆谷孙·英汉大词典 第一版收录了该词； 1989年8月第一版
当代英语新词语词典=高永伟陆谷孙编；2002年12月，外语教学与研究出版社；收录了该词。明明《英汉大词典》第一版都收录了，为什么还收录到这本词典里。有点搞不懂。
bicommunal 一词，手头资料显示：时代杂志，Monday, Jun. 12, 1978 在一篇“The West's Ragged Edge” 中就出现了：
In essence, the Turkish plan calls for a "bicommunal, bizonal" federal government for Cyprus with two legislative assemblies dealing separately with the domestic affairs of their respective populations, and jointly with external affairs and defense.
时代杂志：Monday, Nov. 28, 1983；The Reversible Republic By Spencer Davidson，也出现过了该词。
"We are looking for a bizonal, bicommunal federal republic," said Turkish Cypriot Foreign Minister Kenan Atakol.
bi+communal 对母语人士，估计不会有辨识难度。所以原版词典编辑迟迟未肯收录吧。个人猜测而已。呵呵。
