Atlas of the Baltic Languages. Lexis I: Flora

2nd revised edition. — Vilnius: Institute of the Lithuanian Language, 389–412 (ISBN: 978-609-411-100-6)The idea of publishing the Baltu valodu atlants/Baltų kalbų atlasas/Atlas of the Baltic Languages was welcomed internationally. Therefore, the scholars of the Institute of the Latvian Language of the University of Latvia and the Institute of the Lithuanian Language continued the project following the same research and methodical principles of work. This time, the first part of the Lexicon, Flora, which introduces the part of the lexis characteristic of the Baltic languages on a wider scale, is presented to the academic establishment. In this CD it is introduced with a comprehensive introductory article, sixteen linguistic lexical maps and comments as well as fifteen smaller maps on which the name of one or another plant is shown in the area of prevalence only in one of the languages in Latvia or Lithuania. The readers also get acquainted with the history of the geolinguistic research conducted by the scholars of the two countries in the second half of the 19th and 20th centuries. As the maps in the CDs are not convenient to use it was decided to prepare with the help of the Lithuanian and Latvian linguists a second edited edition of the Baltų kalbų atlasas. Leksika 1: Flora Baltu valodu atlants. Leksika I: Flora Atlas of the Baltic Languages. Lexis 1: Flora as a separate volume. It carries ten new maps and comments as well as five additional maps. The preface and the supplements remain almost without changes.
