The Production by Computer of Indexes to Pali Tipitaka Texts

巴利藏经索引的计算机生成本研究的目的是开发巴利藏经学会出版的巴利藏经全文索引计算机生成软件。为了达到这一研究目的，我们首先选择了o.v onhinuber和k.r.m ornorman编著的《法经》作为诗歌作品，并对该版本进行了单词索引。该索引按单词在文本中的出现顺序列出单词，而不是单独列出单词。除了索引之外，还同时产生了逆词索引、仿词索引和反仿词索引。这些索引由巴利文学会作为一本书出版。接下来，我们根据赫尔曼·奥尔登伯格的版本为《戒律-pitaka》制作了一个单词索引，这个版本由威廉姆斯和诺盖特出版了五卷，后来又由巴利文典协会出版。这个版本中有许多印刷错误、误读和遗漏字母的地方。然而，通过多次的书信往来和与诺曼教授的个人讨论，我们解决了这些问题，并在个人电脑上形成了一部完美的《律藏》文本。这个单词索引呈现了在文本中出现的每个单词和单词组。例如，虽然“dighayuka”这个词组可以分成“digha ayuka”，但它被印刷成“dighayuka”。此外，索引不区分小写字母和大写字母。这意味着在原始文本中大写的专有名称在索引中是小写字母。这个索引也被巴利文典协会出版，名为《律动-pitaka索引》。通过这些工作，我们完成了为巴利文诗歌和散文文本制作单词索引的程序。我们现在正努力为三卷本出版的《地经》编制单词索引，但对这一文本以及《律藏》进行许多修正和修改是必要的。

The production by computer of indexes to Pali Tipitaka textsThis research aims at developing the softwear of computer-generated indexes to the whole Pali texts published by the Pali Text Society. In order to this research purpose we first chose the Dhammapada edited by O.von Hinuber and K.R.Norman as a verse work and we made the word index to the edition. This index lists words in crasis as they appear in the text, rather than separate words. In addition to the index, a reverse word index, a pada index and a reverse pada index are also produced simultaneously. These indexes were published as a single book by the Pali Text Society.Next, we made a word index to the Vinaya-pitaka based upon Hermann Oldenberg's edition, published in five volumes by Williams and Norgate and subsequently by the Pali Text Society. There were lots of misprints, misreadings and omissions of letters in the edition. However, by exchanging many letters and through personal discussions with Professor Norman, we solved these sorts of problems and formed a perfect text of the Vinaya-pitaka on the personal computer.This word index presents every word and word-group as they appear in the text. For instance, although the word group dighayuka can be separated into digha ayuka, it is printed as dighayuka. Also, the index does not distinguish between lower and upper case letters. This means that proper names, capitalised in the original text, are lower case letters in the index. This index entitled the Index to the Vinaya-pitaka was also published by the Pali Text Society.Through these works we accomplished the program to make the word indexes to the Pali texts in verse and prose. We are now trying to produce the word index to the Digha-nikaya published in three volumes, but many corrections and changes in this text as well as the Vinaya-pitaka will be necessary.
