We are delighted to announce that "Tesouro do
léxico patrimonial galego e portugués", a
lexical database of the Galician, European
Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese dialect
lexicon, can for the first time be searched by
users via the internet.
This database makes it easy to query the entire
contents of lexicographical and dialect studies
which, in some cases, may be difficult for
researchers to gain direct access to. Data
provided in the sources is structured into
variants, headwords, semantic fields and
geographical location. Data in text format is
supplemented by map representations of each
item's geographical distribution.
Search queries can be based on a choice of
lexical forms (either variants or headwords),
location (Galicia, Portugal or Brazil) or the
associated semantic field.
"Tesouro do léxico patrimonial galego e
portugués" is a joint initiative by Brazilian,
Galician and Portuguese universities
coordinated at the Instituto da Lingua Galega
(Universidade de Santiago de Compostela).
The Tesouro is now published online at:
