Lays out key corpus-building strategies for working with regional
data at different levels of linguistic analysis: syntax, lexicon,
morphology, and phonetics/phonology. Shows how traditional methods
of Historical Dialectology can benefit from new methods of
data-collection to test out theoretical and empirical claims.
Highlights opportunities and pitfalls for analysing the relation
between sound systems and spellingsDrawing on the resources created
by the Institute of Historical Dialectology at the University of
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.
