Abstract
This paper deals with the problem of designing and implementing a multimedia electronic dictionary of three Greek dialects in Asia Minor (Pontic, Cappadocian, Aivaliot). At first, we present the linguistic and lexicographic approach adopted, as well as the principles for designing the macro/microstructure of the dictionary. Next, we present and describe the conceptual model of the tri-dialectal dictionary. Finally, we discuss the relational schema and implementation issues. Although, in its current state, the system hosts three dialects, it is designed so as to be able to incorporate other dialectal dictionaries in the future.
This research has been co-financed by the European Union (European Social Fund – ESF) and Greek national funds through the Operational Program “Education and Life-long Learning” of the National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) – Research Funding Program: Thalis. Investing in knowledge society through the European Social Fund.
