Revision Anglo Norman Dictionary letters

项目摘要

Some 70% of the words used in modern English can be traced back to a common source: Anglo-Norman, the dialect of French introduced into the British Isles as a result of the Norman Conquest of 1066 which was to serve as a language of literature, law, commerce, education, and administration into the late Middle Ages. Wherever one looks - historical chronicles, medicinal treatises, legal records - the central role played by Anglo-Norman in the life of medieval Britain is evident.The most comprehensive account of the vocabulary of this language is the Anglo-Norman Dictionary (AND). The idea of the AND was conceived over seventy years ago, and culminated originally in a series of volumes printed between 1977-92 (AND1). This was soon overtaken by a thorough programme of revision to produce a widely expanded dictionary - freely available online since 2006 (www.anglo-norman.net). As the recognised authority on the Anglo-Norman lexis, crowned by the award of the Prix Honoré Chavée by the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres in Paris (2011), the online AND has become an indispensable tool not only for a broad congregation of academic specialists such as linguists, lexicographers, historians, and literary scholars, but also for a constant influx of non-specialists, such as teachers, pupils, and amateur historians and genealogists, wishing to know more about this crucial aspect of their heritage.The current project will continue the revision of AND in two key ways.First, following the successful completion of the revision of the entries for letters A-Q, the AND will now revise letters R & S over a 48-month period, at a rate of approximately 750 entries per annum. The revision process re-investigates and improves every current AND1 entry for semantic detail and textual coverage, and adds new entries for the many new words which have been newly located. For the sake of illustration, in the recently revised N- entries, the number of substantive entries more than doubled (from 339 to 887), as did the number of senses (931 to 2088), with four times the number of illustrative citations (from 1075 to 4218).The revision of R & S will also raise their entries to the higher academic standards which distinguish the online AND's entries from those of AND1 and make it a versatile tool for studying Anglo-Norman in its multilingual and sociological context. These include the systematic cross-referencing of all entries to those in dictionaries of medieval French, Latin, and English; the addition of searchable 'usage labels' in definitions, which allow the analysis of the language through domains, or onomasiological fields; and the addition of editorial commentaries highlighting linguistic, semantic, or historical aspects of more complex entries.Second, the online AND will undergo a significant transformation into a historical dictionary. The AND was originally conceived as a semantic dictionary, intended to show the meanings of words but not their development over time. Increasingly, as the online AND has incorporated hyperlinks to cognate dictionaries which outline the diachronic development of their entries, users have assumed, despite warnings to the contrary, that the organisation of the online AND is also historic and provides the earliest attestations of words. In order to reinforce the central position of the AND in the study of the Anglo-Norman language, this project will introduce a diachronic dimension into the revision of R & S, by locating and highlighting earliest attestations of words and senses. This approach will also be applied retrospectively through a semi-automated process to the existing online entries for A-Q and U. This innovation will ensure a better understanding of the development and use of Anglo-Norman, and will have important benefits for our perception of the history of the English language and of the nature of medieval Britain's multilingual society.

现代英语中使用的词汇中约有70%可以追溯到一个共同的来源：盎格鲁-诺曼语，这是1066年诺曼征服后引入不列颠群岛的法语方言，该方言在中世纪后期成为文学，法律，商业，教育和行政管理的语言。无论是历史编年史、医学论文还是法律的记录，盎格鲁-诺曼语在中世纪英国生活中所扮演的核心角色都是显而易见的，对这种语言词汇最全面的描述是《盎格鲁-诺曼语词典》（AND）。AND的概念是在70多年前构思的，最初在1977-92年（AND1）之间印刷的一系列卷中达到高潮。这很快就被一个彻底的修订计划所取代，以产生一个广泛扩展的词典-自2006年以来可在网上免费获得（www.anglo-norman.net）。作为公认的盎格鲁-诺曼语词汇权威，巴黎文学与语言学院授予的Chavée荣誉奖（2011年），在线AND不仅成为语言学家、词典编纂者、历史学家和文学学者等学术专家的广泛集会，而且也成为不断涌入的非专业人士，如教师、学生、目前的项目将从两个方面继续修订AND。首先，在字母A-Q条目的修订工作顺利完成后，AND现在将在48个月内修订字母R & S，每年约750个条目。修订过程重新调查和改进每个当前AND1条目的语义细节和文本覆盖，并为新定位的许多新词添加新条目。为了便于说明，在最近修订的N-条目中，实质性条目的数量增加了一倍多（从339到887），感觉的数量也是如此。（931 - 2088），有四倍的说明性引用（1075 - 4218）。《罗马书》的修订S还将提高他们的参赛作品，以更高的学术标准，区分在线AND的参赛作品从AND1，使其成为一个多功能的工具，研究盎格鲁-撒克逊语。诺曼在其多语言和社会学背景。这些措施包括系统地交叉引用中世纪法语、拉丁语和英语词典中的所有条目;在定义中增加可搜索的“用法标签”，这允许通过领域或专名学领域对语言进行分析;以及添加编辑评论，突出更复杂条目的语言，语义或历史方面。第二，在线AND将经历向历史词典的重大转变。AND最初被认为是一个语义词典，旨在显示单词的含义，而不是它们随时间的发展。越来越多的，作为在线AND已纳入超链接到同源词典，概述了历时发展的条目，用户已经假设，尽管警告相反，组织的在线AND也是历史性的，并提供了最早的证明的话。为了加强在盎格鲁-诺曼语言研究的中心地位，这个项目将引入一个历时的维度R & S的修订，通过定位和突出最早的词和意义的证明。这种方法也将通过半自动化过程追溯应用于A-Q和U的现有在线条目。这一创新将确保更好地了解盎格鲁-诺曼语的发展和使用，并将对我们理解英语历史和中世纪英国多语言社会的性质产生重要影响。
