Encyclopedia of Shakespeare’s Language Project

News and updates about the AHRC-funded Encyclopaedia of Shakespeare's Language project, led by researchers at @LancasterUni.

[Encyclopedia of Shakespeare’s Language Project @ShakespeareLang]

We’re pleased to announce that our @FutureLearn #ShakeLangCourse will be facilitated again this year for 4 weeks! From 5th Sept, we’ll be online and ready to help you explore Shakespeare’s language through corpus methods! 💻📚 https://t.co/1J8sCf9pFu

Shakespeare is usually associated with powerful language, but what if we viewed his work through numbers?

Our new blog by @j_culpeper explores using computers to identify large-scale and subtle patterns in Shakespeare’s language: https://t.co/V2l39hEhNQ

Corpus linguistics is a branch of linguistics which uses computers to explore the use of words in huge collections of language.

Experts examined 20,000 words gleaned from a million-word corpus of Shakespeare’s plays.

25 years of preparation, 25 researchers, and seven years of hard work, and we finally know: dinner happens at midday (according to Shakespeare, anyway). Inevitably, a thread ⬇️ 1/5

[Lancaster University @LancasterUni]

And yes, he did have thoughts on the dinner vs supper debate

All of this, and more, is covered in this excellent thread by the research funder, @ahrcpress 👇

[The Arden Shakespeare @Ardenpublisher]

All set up at #BSA2023 @BSA_Conference in Liverpool! Lots of books on Re-locating Shakespeare across the world in adaptation and translation. Come to the stand and get a sneak preview of the forthcoming Arden Encyclopedia of Shakespeare's Language... @j_culpeper @ShakespeareLang

[Mathew Gillings @mathewgillings]

Spending a couple of days in London between #CL2023 and #IPrA2023. Following yesterday’s @ShakespeareLang encyclopedia launch, we couldn’t resist a trip to @The_Globe! ⭕️📚

[Digital Tolkien Project @DigitalTolkien]

I guess the launch of the first volumes of @ShakespeareLang is a good opportunity to mention that one of the long term goals of _this_ project is to undertake a similar project for Tolkien. The Tolkien Glossary project is the starting point. More information soon.

[Mathew Gillings @mathewgillings]

Being a small part of the @ShakespeareLang project was one of the highlights of my time at @LAEL_LU. Holding the encyclopedia for the first time earlier this week was really special. Congratulations to @j_culpeper, @HardieResearch and @JJDemmen on these first two volumes!!

A celebration of some of the fabulous names that helped with the Arden Encyclopaedia of Shakespeare’s language during the last session of #CL2023 🥂@j_culpeper @HardieResearch et al 📖

[John Williams (fka John X Williams) @lexicoj0hn]

Last session of #CL2023 was the launch of this magnificent opus. Sadly, I will be none the wiser as to how 'publikely', a variant of 'publicly' in Shakespeare's time, would have been pronounced, but you can't have it all. Now off to Liverpool to visit old friends so... pub likely
