constructing the database. For instance you can specify the pronunciation using
IPA and insert sound files. You can also create links between entries. Most of
the fields you need for general lexicography are already built in. But you can
add custom fields for special needs. Once you have completed the process of
compiling the data, you could format and/or export the file for whatever
publication media you intend.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

raises the need for a standard data format and user interface for displaying a
dictionary on the internet. There are dictionaries on the internet, but I'm not
sure if the software is available or for what price. FieldWorks is not such a
program. It has powerful search facilities, but that is for use within the
program. FieldWorks is designed for lexicographers, linguists, and other field
workers who want to develop a dictionary. A user interface that would meet
the needs of normal users browsing the web would need to be quite different. I
would appreciate it if people on this list who have dictionaries that they have
posted to the internet would tell us what software powers their
websites.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV id=ygrp-text>
<P>Hi,<BR>I have seen numerous discussions on this list on existing dictionary
making<BR>software, and my turn has now come to ask for help and advice to
determine the<BR>best tool for my project!<BR>I need to build a pronouncing
dictionary where word entries may be linked to<BR>IPA phonetic transcriptions (a
specially designed and expanded Unicode font),<BR>with possible secondary
pronunciation variants. The possibility of adding sound<BR>files illustrating
those pronunciations would be great.<BR>It should be possible to structure the
database to account for Part of Speech or<BR>other such features.<BR>The
possibility should exist of setting up hyperlinks between word entries.<BR>Also,
quite importantly, powerful search facilities should allow advanced<BR>phoneme
search in the phonetic transcription fields (and also ideally
combined<BR>graphemic and phonemic searches).<BR>Obviously, openness of the
source codes would be a plus if, as is likely,<BR>expansion of existing features
is required.<BR>Marc<BR></P></DIV><!--End group email --><BR>
