To access a specific entry, type a Dickinson word in the basic white “Searches” box provided in the upper right hand corner of the layout. To see multiple alphabetical entries, click on a letter of the alphabet or on a page number as serialized below the running headers for each EDL page. Visitors and users can view the EDL by clicking on the lexicon tab in the top frame of the website. Words from Dickinson’s collected letters are not included in the EDL at this time. Because high-frequency function words such as a, of, and the are important for Dickinson studies, the EDL includes basic definitions for 168 words that were omitted from Rosenbaum's concordance (xi) with their 38,235 occurrences. The EDL includes proper nouns, person names, and place names that are not usually listed in general dictionaries of the English language. A team of lexicographers and reviewers has examined almost 100,000 individual word occurrences to create approximately 9,275 headword entries. The scope of the Dickinson lexicon is comprehensive. The Emily Dickinson Lexicon is a dictionary of alphabetized headword entries for all of the words in Emily Dickinson’s collected poems (Johnson 1955 and Franklin 1998 editions).
