The Anglo-Norman Dictionary (AND) is the only dictionary which attempts to give a comprehensive account of the French language as it was used in the British Isles after the Norman Conquest in 1066. Initially published in book form from 1977 to 1992, a thoroughgoing revision has been under way since c. 1990 ; it has currently reached M. The new edition, at first printed (MHRA, 2005) for A-E, is now an exclusively online dictionary (www.anglo-norman.net), freely available with no restrictions of access. It is widely respected as the authority on Anglo-Norman vocabulary and in 2011 was awarded the prestigious "Prix Honoré Chavée" by the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres in Paris. The present proposal is for a continuation of this revision for the letters N to Q. In addition, we propose several substantive additions and innovations: i) a complete overhaul and expansion of the "usage labels" (which indicate domains in which particular words are used: e.g. botanical, legal, or commercial), with the added ability to search by these labels and pull out (for example) all terms pertaining to architecture; ii) the introduction of systematic cross-references to the immediately related dictionaries of French, Latin, and English; iii) the addition of short narrative accounts after entries to explain editorial decisions and to provide extra linguistic, social, or historical information. This last element reinforces the extent to which the AND, like any serious dictionary, also documents and charts the reality of (in this case, medieval) society. Anglo-Norman was the language of the Conqueror and his followers but it rapidly became the language of a flourishing imaginative literature, and the vehicle for administration, the law, and commerce both within the British Isles, and internationally. It was a variety of medieval French, the most important language after Latin in the Middle Ages, used throughout the whole of Western Europe in diplomacy, trade, science, and literature. The British Isles were of course multilingual throughout the Middle Ages. Inevitably, Anglo-Norman is thus important not only for the history of French (for which it supplies many of the oldest surviving literary texts) and the history of British and Irish society, but also as a main language of record alongside medieval Latin and perhaps most significantly, Middle English. The Anglo-Norman element in medieval and indeed modern English is massively important and the progress of the AND is at last making possible a proper understanding of it (and of its relationship to the other languages of the British Isles). It is striking, for example, how much Anglo-Norman there is -- and increasingly -- in the Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources, and in the dictionaries of English (Middle English Dictionary, OED); and the AND editors take particular pride in the extent to which the new OED etymologies make extensive use of the AND.In addition to the main purpose of the present project, which is the revision and improvement of the AND, it is also, and increasingly, the case that the AND (like the language it records) cannot and would not wish to operate in isolation. For several decades, the project has been closely linked to major, high-calibre dictionary enterprises not only in the UK (DMLBS and now OED), but also abroad: the Etymological Dictionary of Old French (DEAF) in Germany, and in France, the Dictionary of Middle French for the period 1330-1500, the French Etymological Dictionary (FEW), and the recently-launched pan-European Romance Etymological Dictionary, based in Nancy (France) and Saarbrücken (Germany). As all of these dictionaries are increasingly electronic, the very real prospect of interlinking them, and working in closer collaboration on our common objectives, is now on the horizon, and the AND, as the major British Romance element in the group, fully intends to be part of the European future in this regard.

《盎格鲁-诺曼词典》（英语：Anglo-Norman Dictionary）是唯一一本试图全面描述1066年诺曼征服后在不列颠群岛使用的法语的词典。1977年至1992年以书籍形式出版，自1977年以来一直在进行彻底的修订。1990年;目前已达到M。新版本最初是为A-E印刷的（MHRA，2005年），现在是一个专门的在线词典（www.anglo-norman.net），免费提供，没有任何访问限制。它被广泛认为是盎格鲁-诺曼词汇的权威，并于2011年被巴黎的文学与艺术学院授予著名的“Chavée荣誉奖”。本建议是对字母N至Q继续进行这一修订。此外，我们还提出了几项实质性的补充和创新：i）彻底改革和扩大“使用标签”（表示使用特定单词的领域：例如植物学、法律的或商业），并增加了通过这些标签进行搜索并拉出（例如）与建筑有关的所有术语;（二）引入系统的交叉引用直接相关的法语，拉丁语和英语词典; iii）在条目后添加简短的叙述性说明，以解释编辑的决定，并提供额外的语言，社会或历史信息。这最后一个因素加强了AND的程度，就像任何严肃的字典一样，也记录和描绘了（在这种情况下，中世纪）社会的现实。盎格鲁-诺曼语是征服者及其追随者的语言，但它迅速成为繁荣的想象文学的语言，以及不列颠群岛和国际上的行政、法律和商业的工具。它是中世纪法语的一种变体，是中世纪拉丁语之后最重要的语言，在整个西欧的外交、贸易、科学和文学中使用。不列颠群岛在整个中世纪当然是多种语言的。因此，盎格鲁-诺曼语不可避免地不仅对法语历史（它为法语提供了许多现存最古老的文学文本）以及英国和爱尔兰社会的历史很重要，而且作为中世纪拉丁语和可能最重要的中世纪英语的主要记录语言也很重要。盎格鲁-诺曼元素在中世纪和现代英语中是非常重要的，AND的进步终于使人们有可能正确理解它（以及它与不列颠群岛其他语言的关系）。例如，令人吃惊的是，在《英国来源的中世纪拉丁语词典》和英语词典中，（《中古英语词典》）; AND的编辑们对新的OED词源学广泛使用AND的程度感到特别自豪。除了本项目的主要目的外，这是对AND的修改和改进，但AND（就像它记录的语言一样）不能也不希望孤立地运行，这种情况也越来越多。几十年来，该项目不仅与英国的大型高水平词典企业密切相关，（DMLBS和现在的OED），而且在国外：德国的《古法语词源词典》（DEAF）、法国的《1330-1500年中古法语词典》、《法语词源词典》（FEW）以及最近推出的泛欧罗曼语词源词典，总部设在南希（法国）和萨尔布吕肯（德国）。随着所有这些词典的电子化程度越来越高，将它们联系起来，并为我们的共同目标进行更密切的合作的真实的前景已经出现，而AND作为该组中主要的英国罗曼语元素，完全打算在这方面成为欧洲未来的一部分。
