Coptic Dictionary Online

A new paper about the Coptic Dictionary Online will be presented at this year’s ACL SIGHUM workshop on Language Technology for Cultural Heritage. This work is a collaboration between the Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen, Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften, and Coptic Scriptorium.

The paper presents the structure and underlying principles of the dictionary and its Web interface, and also gives a quantitative analysis of the dictionary’s coverage of Coptic lexical material in corpus data. You can check out the pre-print here:
