In this paper we consider the effects of resonance and electron scattering on the escape of Lymanα photons during cosmological hydrogen recombination. We pay particular attention to the influence of atomic recoil, Doppler boosting and Doppler broadening using a Fokker-Planck approximation of the redistribution function describing the scattering of photons on the Lymanα resonance of moving hydrogen atoms. We extend the computations of our recent paper on the influence of the 3d /3s-1s two-photon channels on the dynamics of hydrogen recombination, simultaneously including the full time-dependence of the problem, the thermodynamic corrections factor, leading to a frequency-dependent asymmetry between the emission and absorption profile, and the quantummechanical corrections related to the two-photon nature of the 3d/3s-1s emission and absorption process on the exact shape of the Lymanα emission profile. We show here that due to the redistribution of photons over frequency hydrogen recombination is sped up
