Meeting Description: 

On the afternoon of Friday 28th June 2019 the Encyclopedia of Shakespeare's
Language project at Lancaster University (UK) will be hosting a special
half-day symposium to celebrate the upcoming public release of our online
resources.

We are delighted to announce that English language scholar, Prof. David
Crystal will give the opening address on language and Shakespeare.
Furthermore, this will be followed by one of the leading figures of corpus
linguistics, Prof. Tony McEnery, who will give a second opening address on
historical language and corpus methods.

You will hear from the Project team who compiled various new and unique
corpora to study Shakespeare’s language, along with tools and techniques for
their analysis. The team will also present the findings of exciting and
innovative research based on these resources. The first four talks are
designed to display some of the research possibilities the resources afford,
ranging from grammatical style through to gender in Shakespeare. The final
talk reports the results of a spin-off project on the linguistic difficulties
students experience when reading Shakespeare.
