MODEL FOR A DIGITAL AND HYPERTEXT EDITION OF THE DRAE 1884. THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR THE TRANSFER TO A DIGITAL FORMAT OF A DICTIONARY

THE PROJECT “MODEL FOR A DIGITAL AND HYPERTEXT EDITION OF THE DRAE 1884. THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR THE TRANSFER TO A DIGITAL FORMAT OF A DICTIONARY” CONSTITUTES THE SUBPROJECT1, COORDINATOR OF THE COORDINATED PROJECT “MODEL FOR A DIGITAL AND HYPERTEXT EDITION OF THE DRAE 1884 (E-DRAE 1884)”. IT AIMS TO DEVELOP THE NECESSARY RESEARCH TO CARRY OUT, ON THE ONE HAND, A CRITICAL AND HYPERTEXT DIGITAL EDITION OF THE DRAE 1884 AND, ON THE OTHER HAND, BOTH A CRITICAL AND THOROUGH STUDY OF THIS LINGUISTIC WORK, WHICH IS FUNDAMENTAL FOR THE HISTORY OF LINGUISTICS AND THE HISTORY OF THE SPANISH LEXICON. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THIS SUBPROJECT IS TO DESIGN THE CRITERIA TO ESTABLISH THE TEXT AND ITS FORMS OF DISPLAY, TO DEVELOP A LABELLING SYSTEM IN XLM AND AN ANNOTATION SYSTEM, AND TO IMPLEMENT A SEARCH ENGINE THAT ENABLES TO RETRIEVE AND CONNECT INFORMATION FROM ALL THE PARTS OF THE DIGITAL EDITION OF THE DRAE 1884. FOR THIS PURPOSE, THE REAL ACADEMIA ESPAÑOLA HAS GRANTED ACCESS TO THIS DICTIONARY EDITION'S DIGITALISED TEXT AND IMAGE. THIS TASK REPRESENTS SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN DIGITAL HUMANITIES AND INNOVATION IN THE DIGITAL TRANSITION IN THE CRITICAL EDITION OF DICTIONARIES. THUS FAR, THERE ARE FEW PRECEDENTS OF THIS TYPE OF DIGITAL EDITION REGARDING LEXICOGRAPHIC WORKS THAT APPLY THE PRINCIPLES OF ECDOTICS AND TEXT ANNOTATION. THE COMPREHENSIVE EDITION, CONNECTED TO DOCUMENTATION FROM ARCHIVES, LITERARY WORKS, AND SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL SOURCES, IS THE STARTING POINT FOR AN EXHAUSTIVE STUDY OF THE DRAE 1884. IN THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES FOCUSED ON THE ANALYSIS OF THIS LINGUISTIC WORK, WE WILL ADOPT AN EXTERNAL POINT OF VIEW, DEVELOPING STUDIES THAT ALLOW FOR IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE HISTORICAL AND LINGUISTIC FRAMEWORK TO WHICH THE ELABORATION AND PUBLICATION PROCESS OF THE DRAE 1884 BELONGS, TOGETHER WITH THE ANALYSIS OF ITS CRITICAL RECEPTION (IN THE PRESS AND OTHER WORKS). FROM AN INTERNAL POINT OF VIEW, WE WILL DELVE INTO THE THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS ON WHICH IT IS BASED, AS WELL AS THE PROGRESS IT REPRESENTED IN THE LEXICOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUE, MAINLY IN THE INNOVATIONS REGARDING THE INCLUSION OF ETYMOLOGY, THE REVIEWING PROCESS THROUGH THEMATIC AND SPECIALIZED FIELDS OR THE EVOLUTION OF THE DEFINITION METHODS. THE RESULTS OF THIS PROJECT, AVAILABLE ON AN OPEN-ACCESS WEBSITE, WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO ANALYSE THE DRAE 1884 AS A DISCOURSE AND AS A TEXTUAL CORPUS. THIS WILL PROVIDE BOTH THE ANALYSIS OF THE RECEPTION OF THE LATE 19TH-CENTURY LANGUAGE IN A GENERAL AND NORMATIVE DICTIONARY AND THE CONSIDERATION OF THIS WORK AS A CULTURAL PRODUCT THAT REFLECTS THE IDEOLOGIES THAT HAVE AN IMPACT ON ISSUES SUCH AS THE REPRESENTATION OF WHAT IS MASCULINE AND FEMININE IN THE INDEX OF ENTRIES AND IN DEFINITIONS. THE RESEARCH OF SUBPROJECT 1 WILL COMPLEMENT THAT ONE CARRIED OUT IN SUBPROJECT 2 “THE PRESENCE OF THE AMERICAS IN THE DICTIONARY”. THIS PROJECT FOCUSES ON THE PROGRESS THAT THE SYSTEMATIC RELATION BETWEEN THE RAE AND THE CORRESPONDING ACADEMIES ESTABLISHED DURING THE REVISION PERIOD OF THE DRAE 1884 (1869-1884) REPRESENT FOR THE LEXICOGRAPHY OF THE REAL ACADEMIA ESPAÑOLA. THE ANTECEDENTS OF THIS PROJECT CAN BE FOUND IN THE RESULTS OBTAINED IN THE PREVIOUS RESEARCH ON 19TH-CENTURY LEXICOGRAPHY OF THE REAL ACADEMIA ESPAÑOLA IN THE PROJECTS “INTERNAL HISTORY OF THE DICCIONARIO DE LA LENGUA CASTELLANA OF THE REAL ACADEMIA ESPAÑOLA IN THE 19TH CENTURY” (FFI2014-51904-P AND PGC2018-094768-B-I00), WHICH HAVE SHOWN THAT THE DRAE 1884 CONSTITUTES A M
