The ''Thesaurus Occitan'' (THESOC) is a dialectological multimedia databasedeveloped for several years at the CNRS research lab ''Bases, Corpus,Langage'' (UMR 6039) at the University of Nice - Sophia Antipolis (France),and supervised by Prof. J.Ph. DALBERA. Its aim is to collect all existingdialectological material regarding the Occitan language (spoken in theSouth of France), such as those published in the ''Atlas linguistiques dela France par régions'', but also results of unpublished fieldwork. Thedata available constitute a large corpus that contributes to the picture ofdiatopic variation in Romance (concerning the lexicon, phonetics, phonologyand morphology). For every word, it offers several layers of searchableitems: IPA transcriptions, lemma, etymons, sounds and localisation ongeographical maps. It is continually increasing and contains at the moment:- 8345 questions- 819 localities- 803874 records- 29058 lemma- 3754 etymons- 988 sounds- 500 pictures

Part of this corpus (about 400 000 items for the moment) is now available at:http://thesaurus.unice.fr

Multiple ways of searching the database are already implemented in theTHESOC; all of them are not yet available on-line; they will beprogressively added.
