UPDATES
• The site now includes prose descriptions of dialect groups to which each of the village dialects represented on the site belongs. These can be found on the Location page, accessible by clicking on each village’s name (or tab on the map) on the Home page.
• These prose descriptions of dialect groups are also available in Bulgarian, by clicking on the link following the phrase
--> За oписанието на диалекната група на български, натиснете ТУК
• Data entry at all levels has been completed.
• Maps now accompany the search results on three of the five search pages: Linguistic Traits, Wordform, and Phrases.
• It is now possible to search for "lexical variation", or the presence of heteronyms in well-defined dialect groups on the site.
• Seven instructional videos illustrating use of the site have been created and are available on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-BDkdTQ6iw
SOON TO BE AVAILABLE
• Accessibility for Bulgarian-language users is being increased. At present one can now access the Bulgarian version of prose descriptions of each village’s dialect (by clicking on the link within the relevant description on the Location page), and the Bulgarian Cyrillic transcription of each text (by clicking on the Cyrillic Line View tab on the Text page). Bulgarian versions of all prose material on the site – everything in the first three layers under the Site Information tab – are now being created and will be posted soon.
