The Bavarian Dictionary covers the vocabulary of Bavarian dialects from the early Middle Ages to the present. While the linguistic forms of the past are testified from literary sources, the Bavarian dialects of the present are mainly collected through written interviews with dialect speakers. The articles are structured according to their meanings. In addition to information on grammar, age, geographical distribution, frequency of occurrence, phonetics and origin of the word, they also contain example sentences from the present and older sources as well as factual and ethnological information.
Research Methods
The research methods employed are an essential component of research projects. In the field of research methods, projects can be filtered by their specific research activities and techniques, making it easy to find projects with similar approaches.
