Dictionary of Contemporary Persian. This dictionary project has grown out of a university language course. It is highly experimental in nature. The focus in compiling the dictionary has been on contemporary language. In the beginning, all lexical items needed in the classes were entered into the dictionary. Later we started to integrate data not available in other dictionaries. Particular attention has been paid to neologisms which can not be found in most of the usually older print dictionaries. Usage examples are adapted from various sources, for the most part coming from the Internet. Of particular importance is a Wikipedia version which we have made available as a TEI corpus.
