Plena Ilustrita Vortaro

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Plena Ilustrita Vortaro (PIV) is the largest monolingual dictionary of Esperanto . It was first published in 1970 and was supervised by the linguist Gaston Waringhien .

precursor

The unofficial language authority of Esperanto was initially the language founder Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof . In 1894 his Universala Vortaro appeared , which in 1905 was recognized as one of the foundations of the language. The Language Committee, later called the Akademio de Esperanto , has published eight so-called "official supplements" since 1908.

In 1927, the Esperanto functionary Eugène Lanti proposed the Plena Vortaro (PV), it was published in 1930 by the Workers' Esperanto Association SAT in Paris. Editor-in-chief was Prof. Emile Grosjean-Maupin. In 1954 a new edition appeared with a supplement.

The classic PIV

The Plena Ilustrita Vortaro de Esperanto was also published in 1970 , written by a team led by the linguist Gaston Waringhien, chairman of the Esperanto Academy. He had previously worked on Primary. The illustrations in the PIV were only available in a special section at the end. The PIV brought the lexical material up to date and tackled the jargon problem on a professional basis. It became the authoritative standard work.

After a second edition in 1977, the Esperanto anniversary year 1987 brought a new edition with a supplement, the Plena Ilustrita Vortaro de Esperanto kun Suplemento (PIVS). But there was a need for a thorough revision that took into account developments in world politics and, above all, in science and technology. This also included informatics with the computers invading everyday life.

Later editions

In 1990, SAT commissioned the linguist Michel Duc-Goninaz with a new edition, on which hundreds of employees and editors worldwide contributed. In spring 2002 this edition appeared under the name La Nova Plena Ilustrita Vortaro de Esperanto (NPIV). It has 16,780 headwords with a total of 46,890 lexical units, including many new technical terms (such as kardanartiko or filoksero ). In 2002 the NPIV increased its use of slang expressions. This greatly expanded and revised edition was welcomed by the Esperanto community as a long overdue adaptation to the current state of the language, especially through the inclusion of many modern words and the correction of systemic weaknesses in specialist terminology. However, it also received some criticism, e.g. B. because of the introduction of a not inconsiderable amount of superfluous neologisms and numerous new synonyms.

In 2005, SAT delivered another new edition under the former name Plena Ilustrita Vortaro (1265 pages, format 24.5 × 15.5 cm), which is essentially an error-corrected and slightly updated edition of the NPIV from 2002. Michel Duc-Goninaz and Claude Roux were in charge.
