Sample of Collins College Bilingual: French - Italian (Tagged Format)

Harper Collins publishes a line of bilingual dictionaries in several languages. These dictionaries are available for research use. Collins requires a fee for their use; please contact CLR for additional information.

This is a sample from the first few pages of the letter "E" from the French - Italian College edition bilingual dictionary. We are providing it on-line so researchers can see the formatting.

A more complete sample of the letter "E" can be obtained at our ftp site.

The College bilinguals have approximately 80,00 references, 40,000 per side.

These dictionaries are available in a tagged format. The tagging is similar to SGML, but proprietary to Collins. To understand the tags you can use a SGML handbook, along with the document provided by Harper Collins which discusses their tagset. This document was created for the offset printing of the dictionary, not for linguisitc analysis.

The document describing the tagset is listed seperately in the menu that got you here
