Meroitic Analytic Dictionary

麦罗语是黑非洲最古老的有记载的语言，因此在寻找他们在非洲人中身份的过程中具有最重要的意义。墨罗语的文献可以追溯到公元前3世纪到公元4世纪，这些文献来自尼罗河沿岸菲莱以南到墨罗埃的发现点。在2000年，大约有1000份文件是已知的，其中大部分是关于公式化的丧葬铭文。在DFG的支持下，从Qasr Ibrim、Gebel Adda和Batn el-Hagar地区收集了大量的麦罗埃文铭文，所有这些铭文都是在教科文组织1960年代抢救努比亚古迹运动的框架内挖掘出来的。在过去的15年里，申请人发表了大量的论文。由于这项工作，已知的麦罗文书的数量增加了一半。然而，比数量扩大更重要的是，新扩大的文本语料库的性质发生了变化，因为曾经占已知文本50%的典型书面陪葬文本的比例减少到只有25%。随着这些新的、非公式化文本类型的加入，以前未知的单词数量急剧增加。这个新扩展的文档语料库现在提供了创建梅罗语词典所需的材料，呈现了对这种语言丰富程度的理解的当前状态。这样的字典不存在。本申请申请的MEROITIC analytical DICTIONARY对所有已发表的和大部分未发表的铭文进行了评估，共约2000份文件。它包括原始铭文中由单词分隔符定义的所有麦罗语单词，以及所有至少有三个连接符号的不完整单词。字典由四种不同的条目组成：可以进行语法分析并简化为其词汇的单词，由于其保存状态而无法进行分析的单词，名称（形成自己的语义类别），最后是词汇本身。耗时的词汇分析及其词素的识别对于进一步比较墨罗语的语言学研究至关重要。不能完全分析的词汇、名称和单词都包括在内，并附上对其参考文献的完整引用。除了上面提到的分析之外，对每个单词进行详细而耗时的分类？S的用法构成了这本词典的第二个重点。《梅罗分析词典》包含约23000个词条。它将以双语（德语和英语）出版，篇幅约为1600页。

Meroitic is the most ancient recorded language of Black Africa and therefore of the greatest importance in the search for their identity among Africans. Meroitic language documents date from the 3rd century BCE to the 4th century CE and come from find spots along the Nile from Philae south to Meroe. In the year 2000 about 1000 documents were known, most of which pertain to formulaic funerary inscriptions. Supported by the DFG, the large collections of Meroitic inscriptions from Qasr Ibrim, Gebel Adda and the Batn el-Hagar region, all of them excavated in the framework of the UNESCO campaign for the salvage of the Nubian monuments during the 1960?s, have been published by the applicant in the last fifteen years. As a result of this work, the number of known Meroitic documents has increased by half. More important than the quantitative enlargement, however, is the change in the nature of the newly enlarged text corpus because the proportion of the stereotypical written funerary texts, once 50 percent of known texts, was reduced to only 25 percent. With the addition of these new, non-formulaic types of texts, the number of previously unknown words has dramatically increased. This newly expanded corpus of documents now offers the materials needed for the creation of a dictionary of the Meroitic language presenting the current state of understanding the richness of this language. Such a dictionary does not exist. The MEROITIC ANALYTIC DICTIONARY being applied for in this application evaluates all published and most of the unpublished inscriptions, a total of about 2000 documents. It includes all Meroitic words as defined by a word divider in the original inscriptions and all incomplete words of at least three joined signs. The dictionary is organized by four different kinds of entries: words that can be grammatically analysed and reduced to their lexemes, words that cannot be analysed due to their state of preservation, names (which form their own semantic category), and finally the lexemes themselves. The time consuming analysis of the words and the identification of their lexemes is of the highest importance for further comparative linguistic studies of the Meroitic language. The lexemes, the names and the words that cannot be fully analysed are included along with full citations to their references. In addition to the analysis mentioned above, a detailed and therefore time consuming classification of each word?s use forms the second focus of the dictionary. THE MEROITIC ANALYTIC DICTIONARY includes about 23000 entries. It will be published bilingually (German and English) and will be about 1600 pages in length.
