SAMPLES OF SCANNED CARDS

From the 3.700.000 card archive of ILNE a very small part has been scanned and documented. The selection of the cards to be scanned was based on the lemma. In the beginning, tens of lemmas were selected which:
a) depict various aspects of life, objects and activities related to particular expressions of the folk culture that tend to be forgotten and b) satisfy linguistic criteria, such as the representation of all parts of speech, the differentiation of forms and meanings from those of the standard Modern Greek, the accentuation of the continuity, the modifications and the richness of the Greek language.

The selection of lemmas was followed by the selection of cards. From the volume of the cards belonging to each lemma some representative cards were selected. Their selection was based on parameters such as the richness and the variety of the place of origin, the forms, the meanings and the examples included in the cards. From the digitized material, a sample of the images of the cards is provided below for the following lemmas:
