Concording Medieval English Metrical Romances by Computer

本项目是我们对中古英语格律传奇进行编码和整理的一部分，该项目始于1993年，我们计划对四部主要的作品进行编码和整理，这四部作品分别是：尤斯塔斯-康斯坦斯-佛罗伦萨-格里塞尔达的传奇。多亏了给我们的那笔补助金，工程才稳步推进。我们能够在第二年编制阿尔图瓦的艾格拉莫爵士（14世纪中叶）和焦油王（14世纪初）的索引。每个索引包括KWIC索引，单词索引，aranking频率列表，反向单词列表和押韵单词列表。虽然我们是用大型计算机来编制这些索引的，但我们也成功地尝试了用个人计算机来编制这些索引。

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.
