lexikologie.de: the online dictionary of technical terms in lexicology
of the Friedrich-Schiller-University's Hochschuldozentur of German Linguistics
at the institute of German linguistics,
Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena.
lexicology.de primarily represents a useful instrument for
students of German Linguistics. We want to systematically capture and
organize technical terms from the realm of lexicology and integrate them
into a hypertext.
The foundation of this project arose from a seminar for advanced
students in winter 2004/05 dealing with e-dictionaries. After a
comprehensive search of existing projects in Germany, the aim was to
generate our own online-dictionary. This project reflects the experience we
have gained especially with reference to clarity, user-friendliness,
structure and complexity. For the time being, lexicology.de represents the
preliminary result of this project.
In its current shape the dictionary has not yet been completed by the
editorial. The already finished entries are marked with arrows. Furthermore,
all students of German Linguistics are asked to take an active part in the
dictionary's enlargement, in writing own entries, as well as in editing the
existing articles in order to provide a more comprehensive aid to subsequent
students.
Besides the dictionary, the main part of lexicology.de, there are further
exercises and examples available for all undergraduates and graduates of
lexicological seminars on these pages. These exercises offer the possibility
of strengthening and deepening the knowledge previously gained through their
studies.
