Thesaurus Indo-Europeicus

Objective

The goal of this research is a detailed etymological description of the Indo-European languages including information usually omitted in etymological dictionaries. The intention is to research phonetical, morphological, syntactical changes, as well as changes in semantics, prosodics, syllabification in each Indo-European language, in order to present them in a computer database. The project implies a development of a database system on the basis of Professor Tseytin's associate network. The problem is to orient this network to the needs of linguistic description, and especially of etymological studies. Furthermore, this project should include computer programmes allowing conducting a broad variety of search and a computer- based comparison of different linguistic materials. At the first stage of the project's implementation the shape of presenting etymological material should be determined, and the degree of efficiency of the database for the description of different Indo-European languages' materials and their interpretations should be verified. To this end, it is intended to study the whole bulk of proposed etymologies including some details that etymological dictionaries usually leave out of consideration. As an intermediary result, fragments of etymological dictionaries should be presented (for example, the number of entries of the Greek part of the dictionary will be reduced to a more or less complete vocabulary of the Mycenaean texts)
