Lexicographical Resources

The Lexica page allows you to enter a lemma and consult the lexicographical resources digitized by or linked to the TLG. As in the previous interface, searches use a selected lemma rather than unrestricted text.

1. Search for a lemma

1. Enter a lemma in the search box at the top of the page.
2. Select the appropriate language from the menu. The on-screen keyboard can be used for Greek input.
3. Select the desired lemma from the suggestions when more than one analysis or form is available.

2. Lexica and morphological analysis

After a lemma is selected, the left panel displays the morphological analysis and the lexica in which the lemma can be found. Alternate or related forms may also be listed. In this example, the lemma πόλις is linked to resources including LSJ, Middle LS, Cunliffe, Slater, Powell, Bauer, Lampe, and Triantafyllides.

Click the name of a lexicon under Show entry in to display its entry in the main panel on the right.

3. View dictionary entries

The selected dictionary is displayed in the large panel on the right. This makes it possible to consult different lexica without leaving the Lexicographical Resources page.

For example, selecting Cunliffe displays the corresponding entry from A Lexicon of the Homeric Dialect. Selecting LSJ displays the Greek-English Lexicon entry. Links and cross-references within dictionary entries remain available where provided.

4. Related lemmata and cross-references

The left panel may also display Related Lemmata and See also references. These help identify related forms and direct you to the dictionaries in which those forms have entries.

The previous Lexica page also provided statistics and geographic distribution for a lemma. Those functions are now handled through the site's dedicated statistical tools rather than being the focus of this Lexica view.

5. Quick reference

Lexicon availability depends on the selected lemma; not every lemma occurs in every resource.
