The Development of Dickens Lexicon Digital with a Multifunctional Information Retrieval System and its Practical use for Linguistic Research

我们创建狄更斯词典数字版的项目是基于已故山本忠雄博士（1904-91）编写的大约6万张索引卡。我们的狄更斯词典既不是基于书籍也不是基于文档，而是设计为基于网络的参考资源。包括18世纪和19世纪小说的电子文本在内的多功能信息检索系统狄更斯数字词典计划于2017年3月在网上提供，尽管它将从2014年7月开始部分功能并在网上提供。

Our project to create The Dickens Lexicon Digital is based on approximately 60,000 index cards which the late Dr. Tadao Yamamoto (1904-91) compiled. Our Dickens Lexicon is neither book-based nor document-based, but is rather designed as a web-based reference resource. The Dickens Lexicon Digital with a Multifunctional Information Retrieval System, including the e-texts of 18th and 19th century fiction is scheduled to be available on the web by March 2017, although it will be partially functional and available on the web, from July 2014.
