The first edition of the Hatrack Dictionary/Lexicon is finally complete! I have 50 entries, I IPAed them, and I'm ready to send it to any of you for reviewing and continuation. It's curently in DOC format, but can be easily canged to WPS or PDF. I don't have OpenOffice on my PC at the moment, so not quite there.

Who wants it sent to his/her e-mail for reviewing? Please say "aye".

If you review it, PLEASE put in the info of who you are and what you did in the "file history" section down at the end, or e-mail me what you've or you want to have changed if you're unable to edit the file, so I can log it on neatly.

Sorry I still haven't gotten back to you on it, Jonathan. I haven't had time to sit down and do a thorough review. One thing I noticed, though, is that you used e for both e and ε. You also syllabified Hatrack wrong, but it seems that lots of people do that.

Posted by Jonathan Howard (Member # 6934) on :

Any problems - either mail me or ask me here.

Posted by Jonathan Howard (Member # 6934) on :

Jon - it's alright; I'm sending you the updated one. It's far more accurate.

I'm going to bed - but send it on and e-mail me as much as you like. The e-mail's in my profile.

Same here, what Jon Boy said. I haven't gotten back to you either, yet... but now I can actually check your IPA properly, since I'm in class, learning. [Smile]

You'll be posting the finished product, no?

I'll wait until then to tell you all the mistakes you've made.

Posted by Avadaru (Member # 3026) on :

Thanks! I haven't read it over very carefully yet, but I skimmed it and it looks good so far. [Big Grin]

Posted by Jonathan Howard (Member # 6934) on :

Thank you, all of you. It might even be published here, but there are entries that will probably be removed and MANY entries to add and edit.

You see, I simply didn't create many dictionaries in the past, so I prefer some expert advise. [Smile]

Tante, this is to be [theoretically] reviewed by linguists who are probably just as good as you (Jon Boy). I take his word for it. (And I know you're an expert on English too - but your little laugh won't work!)

Posted by Jonathan Howard (Member # 6934) on :

I got advice from one person only (the honorary Bobs, aka Bob_S), though compliments from a few. Anyone else offering ideas for improvement?

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

From what I've been able to glance at so far, it looks good. I'm taking linguistics 101 this semester so by the end I may have more suggestions. [Razz]

I'm just not sure that it's necessary to take a vanity project and make it pedantic.
