Edinburgh (now the Angus McIntosh Centre for Historical
Linguistics), such as eLALME (the electronic version 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 illustrates how traditional methods of historical
dialectology can benefit from new methods of data-collection to
test out theoretical and empirical claims. In showcasing the
results that these resources can yield in the digital age, the book
highlights novel methods for presenting, mapping and analysing the
quantitative data of historical dialects, and sets the research
agenda for future work in this field. Bringing together a range of
distinguished researchers, the book sets out the key
corpus-building strategies for working with regional manuscript
data at different levels of linguistic analysis including syntax,
morphology, phonetics and phonology. The chapters also show the
ways in which 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.
