Description

This paper presents the project “Model for a Digital and Hypertextual Edition of the DRAE 1884 (e-DRAE 1884)”, carried out at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). Its main goal is to produce an online critical edition of the Diccionario de la lengua castellana published by the Real Academia Española in 1884 (hereafter, DRAE 1884). The 1884 edition of the DRAE was chosen because of its innovative character within the lexicographical tradition of the Real Academia Española and because it was the first edition to take into account the lexical proposals of the newly established American academies. The digital and hypertextual edition offers the full text in an interoperable format, https://edrae1884.uab.cat/edicion/, enriched with structured annotations that provide the information needed for the historiographical, lexicographical, and lexicological interpretation of the dictionary's contents.
