Overview

EnoLEX collates lexical data from legacy materials and contemporary fieldwork data about the Enggano language, ranging from simple/short and extensive word lists, anthropological and ethnographic writings, a dictionary, thesis, and contemporary Enggano data. The materials span over 150 years from the middle of the 19th century up to the present. With expert cognate-judgement, EnoLEX offers historical development of word forms expressing a certain concept/meaning.
