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

这个项目将应用定量的方法来研究中世纪的法语接触变体，也就是众所周知的盎格鲁-诺曼语。字符N-gram模型将被用来研究这种变种，它是在诺曼征服后在英格兰发展起来的。N-gram模型已经成功地应用于以往的数据驱动研究，以识别语言中的形态和词汇变化。在这个项目中，他们将被用来研究盎格鲁-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。通过这项工作，将编制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.
