项目摘要

This project is an attempt to establish a practical method of using computerized corpora in the hope to fill in the lacunae in the study of the history of the English language. Our original plan was to take up the Helsinki Corpus of the English Texts and the OED on CD-ROM for our material. In our actual research, however, we have expanded our scope to include various other materials and periods. We have thus conducted an international symposium on Ancrene Riwle in 1997. The discussions made there have been enlarged and updated in the proceedings so that they can further stimulate the recent ever-growing interest in Ancrene Riwle scholarship. In 1998 we organized another symposium covering areas such as "Denmark and English Literature", "Language Contacts", "Intercommunication of different cultures".Among various other activities of the project members can be mentioned the following: Hideki Watanabe, using the OED on CD-ROM and other material, made many researches into the history of English and Beowulf. Some of the results have already been published in various journals.Arne Zettersten investigated the usefulness and the limitations of using the Helsinki and other corpora for the study of EModE vocabulary and pronunciation. He also made a comparative study in the U.S. of early American prose material for establishing pronunciation from written material. His contribution over the past years to text philology and the EETS (Zettersten-Diensberg, forthcoming) was also useful for the present project.Mitsunori Imai, in an attempt to find practical method of using computerized corpora, made some pilot searches in the EModE section of the Helsinki Corpus and other Elizabethan texts. He also provided a list of merisms found in a Middle English poem through a corpus linguistic analysis of the data.

该项目试图建立一种使用计算机语料库的实用方法，以期填补英语历史研究的空白。我们最初的计划是采用赫尔辛基英文文本语料库和 OED 光盘作为我们的材料。然而，在我们的实际研究中，我们扩大了研究范围，包括了其他各种材料和时期。因此，我们于1997年举办了一次关于Ancrene Riwle的国际研讨会。会议中的讨论得到了扩大和更新，以便进一步激发最近对Ancrene Riwle学术日益增长的兴趣。 1998年，我们组织了另一场研讨会，涵盖“丹麦与英国文学”、“语言接触”、“不同文化的互通”等领域。在项目成员的各种其他活动中，可以提及以下内容：Hideki Watanabe，使用《牛津英语词典》光盘等材料，对英语和贝奥武夫的历史做了很多研究。一些结果已经发表在各种期刊上。Arne Zettersten 研究了使用赫尔辛基和其他语料库来研究 EModE 词汇和发音的有用性和局限性。他还在美国对美国早期散文材料进行了比较研究，以根据书面材料建立发音。他过去几年对文本语言学和 EETS（Zettersten-Diensberg，即将出版）的贡献对于当前的项目也很有用。Mitsunori Imai 试图找到使用计算机化语料库的实用方法，在 EModE 部分进行了一些试点搜索赫尔辛基语料库和其他伊丽莎白时代的文本。他还通过对数据的语料库语言分析提供了在一首中古英语诗歌中发现的分形列表。
