The website of the dictionary portal OWID (www.owid.de) has been 
relaunched. OWID (Online-Wortschatz-Informationssystem Deutsch; 
Online German Lexical Information System) is a lexicographic Internet 
portal for various electronic dictionary resources that are being 
compiled at the Institute for the German Language in Mannheim. The 
main emphasis of OWID is on providing academic lexicographic 
resources of contemporary German. Presently, the following 
dictionaries are included in OWID: a dictionary of contemporary 
German called elexiko, a dictionary of neologisms, a small dictionary of 
collocations, and a discourse dictionary covering the lexemes that 
establish the discourse about ''guilt'' in the early post-war era 1945-
1955. This week another dictionary on 300 proverbs of German has 
gone online. In the near future, several additional dictionaries will 
follow. Thereby, OWID is a constantly growing resource for academic 
lexicographic work of the German language. An additional resource for 
researchers on electronic lexicography is the Online Bibliography of 
electronic Lexicography (OBELEX, http://www.owid.de/bibl/obelex/en) 
which is also part of OWID.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
