ABSTRACTS This project is producing an Etymological Dictionary and Thesaurus of Sino-Tibetan (ST), comprising Chinese and its hundreds of relatives in the Tibeto-Burman (TB) family. The organization of STEDT is by semantic fields, ultimately yielding a thesaurus of the proto-lexicon. During the first grant period (1987-90), vast databases of ST lexical and etymological material were created, incorporating over 110 published and unpublished sources (some solicited by questionnaire). As of January 1990, the database contained over 75,000 quality-controlled records. The first fascicle of STEDT (to be completed by the end of 1990-91) is devoted to body-part terminology. Several hundred etyma have already been provisionally reconstructed in this key semantic area, most for the first time. As the basic work of database creation and management is perfected, the rate of fascicle production will accelerate. The STEDT project is an excellent training groud for students of SE Asian linguistics and computerized lexicography. The P.I. regularly conducts training seminars on historical semantics and comparative reconstruction. This work sheds light on ancient cultural patterns and thought-processes, and on long-standing puzzles about genetic vs. contact relationship in East and Southeast Asia. The STEDTS software will be readily adaptable for etymological work in other language families.

STEDT的组织是通过语义字段，最终产生一个原词典的同义词典。在第一次拨款期间（1987- 1990年），建立了庞大的科技词汇和词源学资料数据库，包括110多个已发表和未发表的来源（其中一些是通过问卷调查征求的）。截至1990年1月，该数据库有75 000多条质量控制记录。STEDT的第一卷（将于1990-91年底完成）专门介绍身体部位术语。在这个关键的语义区域，已经有几百个词源被暂时重建，其中大多数是第一次。随着数据库创建和管理基础工作的完善，分册的产生速度将加快。STEDT项目是东南亚语言学和计算机词典编纂学生的优秀训练基地。P.I.定期举办历史语义学和比较重建方面的培训研讨会。这项工作揭示了古代文化模式和思维过程，以及东亚和东南亚关于遗传与接触关系的长期困惑。STEDTS软件将很容易适应其他语系的词源学工作。
