• Resumen

  • Proto-Indo-European Lexicon (PIELex) is the generative etymological dictionary of Indo- European (IE) languages at http://pielexicon.hum.helsinki.fi. It is the first dictionary in the world capable of mechanically generating its data entries, i.e. the lexical stems of more than 120 of the most archaic IE languages. In addition, in order to solve the reverse process work has already begun on the problem of the mechanical generation of Proto-Indo-European (PIE) from the IE data,. The plan of the project as a whole is to run PIE Lexicon using an operating system (OS), a computer, under which the dictionary and its data are exclusively governed by smart features ranging from semantics to morphology, and the very root structure of Proto- Indo-European itself. In principle PIE Lexicon is compatible with all digitized etymological dictionaries of IE languages, and as the operating system is scientifically neutral, material of any language or language family can be implemented onto the platform. By outlining the key features of the future coding plan we hope to offer ideas, assistance and support for other enterprises in the field of electronic lexicography.
