Encyclopaedia of Shakespeare’s Language
“The project investigates Shakespeare’s language, but not simply how it is used to create meanings within Shakespeare,” said Jonathan Culpeper, professor of English language and linguistics at Lancaster University. “It will compare his language with that of a 321 million-word corpus comprising the works of his contemporaries.” Professor Culpeper told 成人VR视频 that the UK was a “world leader in corpus-based methods” – using computers to identify language patterns in vast collections of electronic texts. The UK has “generated dictionaries, grammars and more”, he said, but this has “never been done for Shakespeare”. The researchers hope to discover “what is unique about Shakespeare’s language and what it would have meant to his contemporaries” – for example, attitudes towards “love” or “death”, what it means to be “Welsh” or a “harlot”, or even the significance of eating “fish” instead of “beef”.
