[Corpora-List] Which Statistical Test is Suitable

[maxwell]

I am not at all familiar with the literature, but it's possible that the
literature people have looked at spelling (non-)standardization in the
period in English between, say, Chaucer (when not only was every writer a
law unto himself, but an individual writer might have a lot of variation),
up into the era of spelling standardization (when individual writers could
be law-abiding citizens or outlaws :-)).  Perhaps similar sorts of things
happened in other languages that underwent standardization (mostly European
languages, I'm guessing).

If they have worked on this, a place to start a literature search might be
the ALLC (Association for Linguistic and Literary Computing) and the
Association for Computing in the Humanities.  The two orgs have met for
joint conferences in the last decade, I believe.
