I am studying the possibility to implement a software package
LISP written being able to trace back English words giving their
Old Norse equivalent.
The idea is to get a LISP program in a way that given an input text
in modern English it could compose the Middle English and Old English
versions from where the Icelandic version may be achieved. Later
phase will be tracing back from Icelandic the Old Norse generating
terms. Reverse process will be studied later on.
Just need:
* Liveware:
People with lots of experience in Icelandic and/or
Old Norse.
People with a grasp knowledge in LISP.
* Resources:
A good (the best known) Icelandic-English dictionary.
A set of spoken Icelandic tapes (I will pay for
the former and the latter).
My goal? Just helping people interested in death languages to get
a fair idea of how they used the language and opening the door to
reconstruct the protoindoeuropean verb system.
Anyone interested or wishing to help me?
