From jonpat at staff.cs.usyd.edu.au Mon Jun 26 07:39:59 2000 From: jonpat at staff.cs.usyd.edu.au (Jon Patrick) Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2000 17:39:59 +1000 Subject: Announcement of new resources for analysing Basque Message-ID: [ removed private note to moderator ] The Working Group for the Data Mining of Natural Language at Sydney University has prepared a set of 7 lexica of Basque for the use of historical linguists only. Given the amount of discussion there has been on the list over the last year on the relationship of Basque to IE and the paucity of materials directly available to the participating scholars we have prepared a set of resources for your use. The lexica are taken from the following dictionaries: Aulestia (49,600 headwords) Sarasola (30,688 headwords) Kintana (43,553 headwords) Morris(23,373 headwords) Azkue (39,664 headwords) - 3 lexica There are 3 lexica from the Azkue dictionary. The first is the full set of head words in the dictionary (39,664 headwords). The second is the list of monomorphemic words designated by Azkue in their original orthography. The third is the same set of monmorphemic words converted into a Batua orthography. Access to the data is by password. If you are an historical linguist with an interest in this data set then write to me I will allocate you an account and a password. cheers Jon --------------------------------------------------------- Prof. Jon Patrick BH +61-2-9351 3524 Sybase Chair of Information Systems FX +61-2-9351 3838 Basser Dept. of Computer Science University of Sydney Sydney, 2006 NSW Australia WEB: http://www.cs.usyd.edu.au/~jonpat ---------------------------------------------------------- From dcarswell at home.com Fri Jun 9 14:48:06 2000 From: dcarswell at home.com (Douglas Carswell) Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2000 10:48:06 -0400 Subject: Pokorny's Dictionary Message-ID: Does anyone know how to get a copy of Pokorny’s Dictionary?
