Internet Interface of the Inverse Dictionary of Slovenian Language

In the paper an interface to the "Odzadnji slovar slovenskega jezika" by M. Hajnšek-Holz and P. Jakopin, published by the Scientific Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1996, is discussed. The dictionary itself contains 115.000 headwords and is based on the Dictionary of Slovenian Literary Language, standard monolingual encyclopaedia of Slovenian.

Internet interface is based on NEVA, web version of the homegrown multipurpose text processing program EVA, developed in the eighties and nineties by the same author. It is possible to search using the six data fields of headword record: headword, inflectional description, part of speech, accent, vowel-consonant sequence and the number of accents, with usual wildcarding and Boolean operators.

The interface is simple and transparent, yet gives many more possibilities to access the core corpus of Slovenian words.
