Kennen Sie schon … „Dictionaria“?

Diese inno­v­a­tive Zeitschrift wird von der Abteilung für Sprach- und Kul­turev­o­lu­tion im Max-Planck-Insti­tut für evo­lu­tionäre Anthro­polo­gie in Leipzig her­aus­gegeben:

Dic­tio­nar­ia is an open-access jour­nal that pub­lish­es high-qual­i­ty dic­tio­nar­ies of lan­guages from around the world, espe­cial­ly lan­guages that do not have a large num­ber of speak­ers. The dic­tio­nar­ies are pub­lished not in the tra­di­tion­al lin­ear form, but as elec­tron­ic data­bas­es that can be eas­i­ly searched, linked and export­ed.

Dic­tio­nar­ia pub­lish­es elec­tron­ic dic­tio­nar­ies in elec­tron­ic for­mat that can be linked via their com­par­i­son mean­ings to oth­er dic­tio­nar­ies and word col­lec­tions. The dic­tio­nar­ies need to be sub­mit­ted as data­bas­es, con­sist­ing of dif­fer­ent tables of a rela­tion­al data­base (entries, sens­es, exam­ples). Authors will not have to wor­ry about tech­ni­cal imple­men­ta­tion, as long as they con­form to the sub­mis­sion guide­lines. The dic­tio­nar­ies are ref­er­eed like oth­er books or jour­nal arti­cles. The dic­tio­nar­ies are eas­i­ly search­able (by lem­ma, mean­ing, seman­tic domain, and in oth­er ways), they are eas­i­ly exportable, and media con­tent (pic­tures and sound) can be includ­ed.

In diesem Post im Blog „Diver­si­ty Lin­guis­tics Com­ment“ wird die Zeitschrift näher vorgestellt.
