Brill’s Language & Linguistics Blog

Stumbled on the cited site when looking for Brill's Dictionary of Ancient Greek, which is the English translation of Franco Montanari’s Vocabolario della Lingua Greca. The good professor has interesting things to say on his chosen subject. If you’re more an audio/visual person, there is a 24 minute interview with the fellow. (Getting back to the blog - it does not update frequently, but the archive is worth your time if words are your sort of thing.)
One minor quibble is the un-mention of the good work being done on the Diccionario Griego-Español, which is venturing beyond the ancients to include early Byzantine texts. Of course, they've only gotten as far as epsilon, so they've a ways to go. (Happily, they are dedicated to putting it on line and for free. Cf also in this regard Thesaurus Linguae Graecae.)

Yay linguistics! :D

Perhaps of interest, my neck of the woods offers this database. (I'm not a linguist, I fix computers.)
