• Resumen

  • Three major regional dialect dictionaries, the Dictionary of the Brabantic Dialects, the Dictionary of the Limburgian Dialects and the Dictionary of the Flemish Dialects inventory the vocabulary of the southern Dutch dialects, i.e. the dialects spoken in Dutch-speaking Belgium, Northern Brabant and Limburg in the Netherlands and French-Flanders in France. The three dictionaries are onomasiologically arranged, according to the lexicographic ideas of A. Weijnen. Because of their arrangement, the dictionaries cannot convey detailed semantic information. They are to be considered atlases, rather than dictionaries. Therefore, in order to get a complete overview of the lexicon of the southern Dutch dialects, professional lexicography has to call in the help of "amateur" lexicography, i.e. the regional and local dialect dictionaries, made by non-professional lexicographers.

    In this presentation a project is described which aims at the creation of a digitized lexicographical database for the alphabetical amateur lexicography of the (southern) Dutch dialects, including both the old alphabetical tradition of the end of the 19th / beginning of the 20th century and the new tradition, rooted in the so-called dialect revival of the 70s and afterwards. The project is still in progress. First, we present the aim of the project; next we go into the details of the database structure and the search engines.
