A Comprehensive Investigation into the Text and Language of Geoffrey Chaucer

几年来，我一直致力于《杰弗里·乔叟作品的单卷雷门化协调》，作为十卷(1991-92)杰弗里·乔叟作品的完全一致的续集，到目前为止，这是创作特别和谐：两卷(1994)杰弗里·乔叟诗歌作品的韵律协调的宝贵工具。在词汇化的高级阶段，词汇化的语料库被恰当地分为两个部分：词汇语料库和语法语料库，这将直接导致乔叟语法。词汇索引(=LC)应该位于未词汇化的索引和词典之间。LC是词汇化的。也就是说，像大多数词典一样，一个词的所有形态变化都集中在一个方便的标题下。按字母顺序排列的LC的特点是非常依赖于《中古英语词典》(=MED)，《中英词典》最初是一本乔叟词典。我们的依赖将使我们更容易在中世纪英语的广泛背景下描述和理解乔叟的语言。由于我们对MED的全面引用，LC的出版将推迟到2002年。MED仍未完成(在撰写本文时，已出版了从“V”到“V”的分册)。最后一本分册的审查和制作工作应于2001年年中完成。《乔叟综合语料库》项目将分三卷完成：《词汇语料库》(即将完成)。语法索引和词库到‘Boess’，最后两个正在准备中。作为推出乔叟词典的试点项目，有人提议编写一本《Boess》词典。

For several years I have worked on "A Single Volume Lemmatized Concordance to the Works of Geoffrey Chaucer" as a sequel to A Complete Concordance to the Works of Geoffrey Chaucer in ten volumes (1991-92), which has been so far a valuable instrument in the creation of the special concordance : A Rhyme Concordance to the Poetical Works of Geoffrey Chaucer in two volumes (1994). In an advanced stage of our lemmatization, the "Lemmatized Concordance" has been properly divided into two parts : A Lexical Concordance and A Grammatical Concordance which will lead direct to A Chaucer Grammar. The Lexical Concordance (= LC) should lie halfway between the unlemmatized concordance and the dictionary. The LC is lemmatized. That is, all the morphologically varing forms of a word are gatherd under a convenient heading as in most dictionaries. The alphabetically ordered LC is characterized by its great dependence on the Middle English Dictionary (= MED), which "began life as a Chaucer dictionary." Our dependence will make it easier for us to describe and see Chaucer's language in the broad context of Middle English. The publication, of the LC will be postponed until the year 2002 for our full references to the MED.The MED is still unfinished (fascicles through "V" have been published as of this writing). The reviewing and the production of the last fascicle should be completed by the middle of the year 2001. The "Comprehensive Chaucer Concordance" project is to be concluded in three more volumes : A Lexical Concordance (almost finished). A Grammatical Concordance and A Lexicon to 'Boece', the last two of which have been in preparation. A Lexicon to 'Boece' is proposed as a pilot project for launching A Chaucer Dictionary.
