Supplement Electronic Dictionary Irish Language

项目摘要

Ireland possesses one of the richest and most extensive vernacular literatures in the medieval world stretching back as far as the sixth century, comprising both secular and religious material and an unparalleled body of narrative tales. The primary tool for students and scholars of medieval Irish literature has been the Royal Irish Academy's Dictionary of the Irish Language based mainly on Old and Middle Irish, which was published as 23 separate fascicles between 1913 and 1976. It is the most authoritative and comprehensive dictionary of Irish, containing 43,110 entries, and is widely considered of immense importance to Celtic and medieval Irish scholarship. Staff at the University of Ulster have been working on a digital edition of the original dictionary since 2003 and work is due to be completed in March 2007. This eagerly awaited edition represents a real advance for Irish scholarship as the paper Dictionary is notoriously difficult to use owing to the complex nature of Old and Middle Irish language and its non-standard spelling systems. The team now proposes to bring the text of the electronic Dictionary up to date by incorporating scholarly corrections and additions published since the first fascicles appeared. A thorough revision of the dictionary is impractical at this time and could take up to fifty years to complete. Therefore, the proposed project will adopt a simpler, less exhaustive approach. It will gather revisions and additions published over the last seventy years by other scholars in journals and published editions of texts. They will then enter corrections, additions and further references into the digital text, producing an edition which is current and fit for purpose for twenty-first century scholarship. Revisions will be published online as a supplement to the existing electronic dictionary as work progresses so that the results of the project will be immediately available to scholars. A feedback function will allow interested users to enter comments on both revised and unrevised entries so that they can contribute to a more comprehensive and authoritative final edition. At the conclusion of the project, all revisions will appear as a separate hard-copy supplement to the Dictionary as a permanent record of the project's work.By combining the functionality and versatility of the electronic dictionary with the latest research into early Irish lexicography, the revised edition will be an indispensable tool to scholars working in all areas associated with medieval Ireland including linguists, historians, textual scholars, archaeologists, folklorists, Indo-Europeanists, and scholars of comparative literature and religion. The revised Dictionary will be particularly useful to non-specialists and academics from allied fields who may not be fully acquainted with scholarly advances in Irish lexicography. Even specialists in early Irish language and literature will probably not have exhaustive annotations in their own dictionaries and this revised edition will provide them with ready access to a comprehensive and current lexicon of medieval Irish.

爱尔兰拥有中世纪世界中最富有，最广泛的白话文献之一，它可以追溯到六世纪，包括世俗和宗教材料以及无与伦比的叙事故事。 The primary tool for students and scholars of medieval Irish literature has been the Royal Irish Academy's Dictionary of the Irish Language based mainly on Old and Middle Irish, which was published as 23 separate fascicles between 1913 and 1976. It is the most authoritative and comprehensive dictionary of Irish, containing 43,110 entries, and is widely considered of immense importance to Celtic and medieval Irish scholarship.自2003年以来，阿尔斯特大学的工作人员一直在制作原始词典的数字版本，并将在2007年3月完成工作。这本急切的期待版本代表了爱尔兰奖学金的真正进步，因为众所周知，由于纸质词典很难使用，因此由于古老和中爱尔兰语言及其非标准拼写系统的复杂性而很难使用。该团队现在建议通过结合自第一批筋膜以来出现的学术更正和增加的学术校正和增加的添加来使电子词典的文本保持最新状态。目前，对词典进行彻底修订是不切实际的，可能需要长达五十年的时间才能完成。因此，拟议的项目将采用更简单，详尽的方法。它将在过去的70年中收集其他学者在期刊和已出版的文本版本中发表的修订和补充。然后，他们将在数字文本中输入更正，加法和进一步的参考，并生产出最新的版本，适合于二十一世纪的奖学金。随着工作的进行，修订将作为对现有的电子词典的补充，以补充工作，以便学者立即获得项目的结果。反馈功能将使感兴趣的用户能够对修订后的和不明的条目输入评论，以便他们可以为更全面和权威的最终版本做出贡献。 At the conclusion of the project, all revisions will appear as a separate hard-copy supplement to the Dictionary as a permanent record of the project's work.By combining the functionality and versatility of the electronic dictionary with the latest research into early Irish lexicography, the revised edition will be an indispensable tool to scholars working in all areas associated with medieval Ireland including linguists, historians, textual scholars, archaeologists, folklorists,印度 - 欧洲主义者以及比较文学和宗教学者。修订后的词典将对来自盟军领域的非专业主义者和学者特别有用，他们可能不完全了解爱尔兰词典学的学术进步。即使是早期爱尔兰语言和文学的专家，也可能不会在自己的词典中详尽注释，并且该修订版将为他们准备好访问中世纪爱尔兰人的全面和当前的词典。
