Title Creating a DTD template for Greek dialectal lexicography: the case of the Historical Dictionary of the Cappadocian dialect
Abstract This article reports on the compilation of a full dictionary, both print and digital, of Cappadocian Greek, one of the major Modern Greek dialects. This bilingual (Cappadocian Greek-Standard Modern Greek) dictionary is one of the products of the ‘DiCaDLand’ dialectological project, funded by the Hellenic Foundation of Research and Innovation (http://cappadocian.upatras.gr/en). Its compilation is based on the powerful professional dictionary editing software TLex Suite, after extensive parameterization in order to meet the needs and the particularities of both the project and the dialectal variety in study. More specifically, we present a sophisticated and state-of-the art e-lexicographic annotation template capable of handling and describing the complex data of an obsolescent and “aberrant” dialect, without written tradition, heavily influenced by language contact (with Turkish), and presenting considerable variation and serve as a model for future approaches to Greek digital lexicography.
