Date: 12-Mar-2012 From: Carolin Müller-Spitzer <mueller-spitzerids-mannheim.de> Subject: Relaunch of the Dictionary Portal OWID E-mail this message to a friend 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. Linguistic Field(s): Lexicography This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000. This money will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.
