Exploring linguistic change in Anglo-Norman using character N-grams

该项目将应用定量方法研究中世纪法语的接触变体，即盎格鲁-诺曼语。字符N-gram模型将被用来调查这种品种，这在英格兰诺曼征服后发展。N-gram模型在以往的数据驱动研究中已经成功地用于识别语言中的形态和词汇变化。在这个项目中，他们将被应用于研究盎格鲁-诺曼语的传播和变化，以及它的发展方式，以及它对英语影响的性质。通过这一工作，将建立一个以数据为基础的数据库。

This project will apply quantitative methods to the study of a medieval contact variety of French, known as Anglo-Norman. Character N-gram models will be used to investigate this variety, which developed in England after the Norman Conquest. N-gram models have successfully been employed in previous datadriven studies to identify morphological and lexical changes in languages. In this project they will be applied to study the spread and change of Anglo-Norman, and the ways in which it developed, and the nature of its influence on English. Through this a data-grounded database will be compiled.
