Editorial page mnemonic for "RP" not present #86

Closed briankrznarich closed 1 year ago

briankrznarich commented 1 year ago

Could an entry be added for "RP" to the list of sources on the Editorial Page wiki under "mnemonics for some of the popular sources".

http://www.edrdg.org/wiki/index.php/Editorial_policy

I've seen a couple of references to RP, such as the two below, but I can't figure out what source this is.

https://www.edrdg.org/jmwsgi/entr.py?svc=jmdict&sid=&e=2198981 "RP, many Eijiro and GG5 examples."

https://www.edrdg.org/jmwsgi/entr.py?svc=jmdict&sid=&e=2221058 "RP: helmet liner : ヘルメットの裏当て; ..."

研究社「リーダーズ・プラス」, I think.

JMdictProject commented 1 year ago

Yes, that's the one. Sorry - I have now added it to the リーダーズ・プラス line in https://www.edrdg.org/wiki/index.php/Editorial_policy#References

Might be helpful to add these as well.

meikyo: Meikyo Kokugo Jiten, 明鏡国語辞典 - small-sized 国語辞典
sankoku: Sanseido Kokugo Jiten, 三省堂国語辞典 - small-sized 国語辞典
saito: Saito's Japanese-English Dictionary, ＮＥＷ斎藤和英大辞典 - large Japanese-English dictionary published in 1928
DDB: Digital Dictionary of Buddhism - online Buddhism dictionary
DBJG/DIJG/DAJG: A Dictionary of Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced Japanese Grammar - grammar dictionaries by Seiichi Makino and Michio Tsutsui

JMdictProject commented 1 year ago

Good suggestions. I have added those. I'll leave this open for a bit,

stephenmk commented 1 year ago

iwakoku: Iwanami Kokugo Jiten, 岩波国語辞典 - small sized 国語辞典

If only to avoid confusion with other dictionaries published by Iwanami (like koj)

JMdictProject commented 1 year ago

Thanks. I've added that one.

Marcusjmdict commented 1 year ago

You could also add mk = meikyo (though I might be the only one using that abbreviation)

Some other suggestions:

smk = shinmeikai 新明解国語辞典
prog = progressive J-E プログレッシブ和英中辞典
Preface "新和英中辞典: medium Kenkyusha JE dictionary" with "chuujiten"?
Probably good to be aware for "カタカナ新語辞典 (Gakken)" that Gakken publishes other dictionaries
Not exactly dictionaries, but we do sometimes refer to the tanaka/tatoeba sentences

I did some fiddling with the References list, making the changes as suggested and also grouping them into Kokugo/JE/EJ/etc. sequences. I fixed a broken URL or two as well. Suggestions welcome.

stephenmk commented 1 year ago

The link for nikkoku appears to redirect to an unrelated site (http://www.nikkoku.net/ -> https://japanknowledge.com/tomonokai/).

Might be worth mentioning that the nikkoku entries on sites like kotobank.jp are pulled from the abridged 精選版 version rather than the full multi-volume version. It seems the full version was available online via yahoo some years ago, and some entry amendments reference it specifically.

JMdictProject commented 1 year ago

Thanks. I've dropped the link and added a note about the 精選版. The References section is probably worth a page of its own.
