The hierarchical Classification enables you to access all titles in BLLDB ordered by linguistic topics, questions and disciplines. The Classification makes all publications accessible by formal and/or thematic aspects and follows the structure of chapters of the print edition of BLL.
The Classification leads from broad subject areas (e.g. language families and linguistic disciplines) to single topics and issues. Thus, you can gradually narrow your search to those publications relevant for your field of work.
To find publications about a specific topic in the Classification, proceed as follows:
1.Click on one of the chapter titles on the page Classification.
The chapter is opened and its sections are listed. Behind the titles of the sections, the number of publications that are contained directly in this section (but not in its further sections) is displayed.
2.Access a section using one of the following options:
a)To view the sections included in a specific section, click on the title of that section.
If the respective section does not contain any further sections, the publications contained in it are listed instead.
b)To list all publications contained directly in a section, click on the number of titles.
If no number of titles is displayed, the corresponding section does include more sections, but no publications itself. In this case, open the desired section.
c)To go back from a section to a superordinate section or chapter, click the corresponding link in the page title (e.g. Classification › Indo-European Languages › Romance).
3.Within the list of publications contained in a chapter or section, you can navigate the same way as on the page Search Results. You can also call up details on specific publications or add titles to your list of selected titles.
