Description:

STEDT is a long-term linguistics research project at the University of California at Berkeley. It is directed by Professor James A. MATISOFF of Berkeley's Linguistics Department. Our goal is the publication of an etymological dictionary of Proto-Sino-Tibetan (PST), the ancestor language of the large Sino-Tibetan language family. This family includes Chinese, Tibetan, Burmese, and over 200 other languages spoken in South and Southeast Asia. The project was founded in 1987 and has enjoyed the support of the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities.The first major dissemination of STEDT research came in the form of A Handbook of Proto-Tibeto-Burman: System and Philosophy of Sino-Tibetan Reconstruction, an introduction to the reconstructed phonology and lexicon of Proto-Tibeto-Burman and the philosophical underpinnings on which the STEDT project rests. This volume (HPTB) included over 1500 reconstructed Proto-Tibeto-Burman roots. In the next phase of the project, additional STEDT etymologies and data will be published systematically, by semantic field, in electronic form.Current STEDTniksDr. John B.

The STEDT Publications page has been updated with downloadable pdf's. Check it out!Documentation for the STEDT database includes:The Simple Search Interface, which is available to users without tagger accounts.The Quick-start Guide: How to Tag, which explains tagging for users with tagger accounts.The Language Groups Browser, which explains how to find information about the languages and varieties found in the database.The Source Bibliography, which discusses how to find bibliographical information about works included in the database.The Chapter Browser, which shows users how to view the database by semantic category.The Lexicon Table, which provides full documentation of the lexicon table.The Etyma Table, which gives full documentation of the etyma table.Special Search Functions, which explains special search functions for the database.The Allofam Box, which describes how to navigate the allofam box.
