BRIEF DESCRIPTION

The Project "MONUMENTS OF THE MODERN GREEK LANGUAGE" aims at the dissemination on a national and international level of the language information stored in the “Archives of the Compilation Center of the Historical Dictionary of the Modern Greek Language” (ILNE) [renamed to “RESEARCH CENTER FOR MODERN GREEK DIALECTS -ILNE”].

The project aims at: (a) the digital conservation of part of the archives of ILNE, (b) the exploitation of all the archives by means of a special electronic application for the entry, correction, search and printing of the material and (c) the dissemination of this Greek language thesaurus via the potentials offered by New Technologies.

In particular, this project will ensure the technological equipment required to enable the digitisation and documentation of part of the material contained in the files. The primary goal is the rational and scientific exploitation of the current and future digitised material in databases by orginising it in databases and deploying the appropriate techniques for information filing, management and retrieval. Thus, the material will be used for the main activities of ILNE but could also be deployed for broader scientific, research and educational purposes.

Moreover, a multilingual educational platform will be developed regarding the local idioms and dialects as well as a thematic web node, which will include selected material from the digitised files of ILNE. Through these applications the dialectal material will become accesible to the whole educational community, particularly to the elementary and secondary education, as well as to the public.
