- More about Historical Dialectology in the Digital Age
Edinburgh (now the Angus McIntosh Centre for Historical Linguistics) showcases new methods of data-collection to test theoretical and empirical claims, presenting, mapping, and analysing quantitative data of historical dialects, and setting the research agenda for future work. It brings together distinguished researchers to explore corpus-building strategies for working with regional manuscript data at different levels of linguistic analysis, including syntax, morphology, phonetics, and phonology, and shows how the geographical spread of phonological, morphological, and lexical features can be used to improve our assessment of the geographical provenance of historical texts.

Edinburgh (now the Angus McIntosh Centre for Historical Linguistics) is a significant resource for historical dialectology, with projects such as eLALME (the electronic version of A Linguistic Atlas of Late Medieval English), LAEME (A Linguistic Atlas of Early Middle English), and LAOS (A Linguistic Atlas of Older Scots). This volume showcases how traditional methods of historical dialectology can benefit from new methods of data-collection to test theoretical and empirical claims. It highlights novel methods for presenting, mapping, and analysing quantitative data of historical dialects, and sets the research agenda for future work in this field. The book brings together distinguished researchers to discuss corpus-building strategies for working with regional manuscript data at different levels of linguistic analysis, including syntax, morphology, phonetics, and phonology. It also demonstrates how the geographical spread of phonological, morphological, and lexical features of a language can be used to improve our assessment of the geographical provenance of historical texts.
