Concording Medieval English Metrical Romances by Computer

这个为期两年的项目是我们对所有主要的中世纪英语格律小说进行编码和协调的项目的一部分，这些小说的可靠版本对现代读者来说很容易获得。在1993年开始的这个项目中，我们计划对尤斯塔斯-康斯坦斯-佛罗伦萨-格里塞尔达传奇的四部主要作品进行编码和协调。多亏了这笔赠款，这个项目才稳步进行。第二年，我们编纂了阿图瓦的埃格拉穆尔爵士（14世纪中期）和塔尔斯国王（14世纪早期）的索引。每个词表包括一个KWIC词表、一个词索引、排序频率表、一个倒序词表和一个押韵词表。因此，这将是研究这种类型的爱情小说的一个很好的起点。虽然我们使用了大型计算机来编制这些索引，但我们也成功地尝试了用个人计算机来编制索引。

the present two-year project is part of our projext to encode and concord all the major Middle English metrical romances whose reliable editions are easily accessible to the modern reader.In the present project which started in 1993, we planned to encode and concord the four major works of th Eustance-Constance-Florence -Griselda legends. Thanks to this grant-in-aid fiven to us, the project made a steady prohress. We were able to compile concordances to Sir Eglamour of Artois (mid-14th century), and The King of Tars(early 14th century)in the second year.Each concordance includes a KWIC concordance, a word index, aranking frequency list, a reverse word list, and a rhyme word list. It will be, therefore, a very good toll for studying the romances of this genre.Although we used a mainframe computer to compile these concordances, we also made a successful attempt to compike concordances by means of personal computers.
