Comprehensive Japanese-German Dictionary

一部在语言学和词典编纂方面可靠的、全面的现代日语词典是人们长期以来的愿望。手头的词典要么是过时的、小尺寸的，要么是不先进的拼凑汇编。Großes japanisch-deutsches Wörterbuch （GJDW）是第一部由德国学者发起的日语-德语词典，它不是专门为满足日本用户的需求而设计的，它弥合了词典编纂75年的鸿沟。全书共三卷，收录了从19世纪末至今的标准日语13万余个主要条目和数不清的子条目，包括黑话、方言词汇、儿童语言以及生物、生物化学、动植物、信息技术、语言学、数学、医学、音乐、物理、法律、体育、经济和金融等领域的专业词汇，仅举其中最重要的几个；它涵盖了整个现代语言，包括技术和科学词汇。《概览》中的特点：所有主题词、复合词和典型表达的拉丁文抄本；主题词词性标签中语素边界的指示；结合类指示根据日语词汇和频率研究显示基本和高级词汇单独列出复合词（标题作为第一或第二单元）单独列出谚语和习惯用语（星号后）历史和技术解释无可争议的词源介绍有西方语言的外来词，有源语言的指示有动植物的术语科学命名指示单独列出语法或历史语言特征的评论从文学、科学、广告、报纸、杂志（第一卷和第二卷各2万多册）带参考文献的说明性短语参考文献的参考书目这些功能都不是日语外语词典编纂的标准，大多数是创新的。对于日语作为源语言，没有任何其他西方语言的类似的大小和结构的双语词典。该项目于1998年在东京的德国日本研究所（DIJ）启动，并于2006年转移到柏林自由Universität。资金由德国和日本的各种赞助者提供。第一卷（A-I, 46,545个主要条目，2,544页）于2009年出版。电子版已于2010年上线。第2卷（J-N, 41,390个主要条目，app. 2,500 pp）于2014年完成词典编纂，将于2015年4月/ 5月出版，并于一年后上线。本申请申请的资金用于为目前参与项目的三名词典编纂者提供三个全职职位，最后为期三年（2016年1月至2018年12月），以便准备第三卷并完成项目。

A linguistically and lexicographically reliable, comprehensive dictionary of the modern Japanese language is a longstanding desideratum. The dictionaries at hand are either hopelessly outdated, small-size, or non-state-of-the-art patchwork compilations. The Großes japanisch-deutsches Wörterbuch (GJDW), which is the first Japanese-German dictionary initiated by German scholars and not exclusively designed to meet the needs of Japanese users, bridges a lexicographical gap of 75 years. With over 130,000 main entries and uncountable sub-entries in altogether three volumes, it encompasses the standard Japanese language from the end of the 19th century up to today, including argot, dialect words, childrens language and technical vocabulary of areas such as biology, biochemistry, flora and fauna, IT, linguistics, mathematics, medicine, music, physics, law, sports, economics and finance, to name just the most important ones; it covers the entire modern language including technical and scientific vocabulary. Features in Overview Latin transcript of all headwords, compounds and typical expressions Indication of morpheme boundaries in headwords Part-of-speech labels With verbs, indication of conjugation class Indication of basic and advanced level vocabulary based on Japanese vocabulary and frequency studies Listing of compounds in separate blocks (headword as first or second unit) Separate listing of sayings and idiomatic expressions (after asterisks) Historical and technical explanations Presentation of undisputed etymologies With loan words from Western languages, indication of source language With terms from flora and fauna, indication of scientific nomenclature Separately listed comments on grammatical or historical-linguistic features Illustrative phrases from literature, science, advertising, newspapers, magazines (volumes one and two: over 20,000 each) with references Bibliography of references None of these features is standard for Japanese-foreign language lexicography, the majority is innovative. For Japanese as source language, there is no comparable bilingual dictionary of this size and structure, for any other Western language. The project was launched in 1998 at the German Institute for Japanese Studies (DIJ), Tokyo, and was transferred to the Freie Universität Berlin in 2006. Funding was provided by various German and Japanese sponsors. Volume 1 (A-I, 46,545 main entries on 2,544 pp) was published in 2009. A digital version has been put online in 2010. Volume 2 (J-N, 41,390 main entries, app. 2,500 pp), lexicographically completed in 2014, will be published in April / May 2015 and put online approximately one year thereafter. The funds applied for in this application are to secure three full-time positions for a final period of three years (January 2016 - December 2018) for the three lexicographers currently working on the project in order to prepare volume 3 and complete the project.
