A Complete Concordance to the Works of Geoffrey Chaucer

Diese zehnbändige KWIC-Konkordanz zum Gesamtwerk Geoffrey Chaucers ermöglicht der Forschung erstmals, vollständige und systematische Untersuchungen an Chaucers Sprache und Texten durchzuführen. Mediävisten und Historiker der englischen Sprache erhalten damit ein Standardwerk wissenschaftlicher Arbeit. Die Konkordanz zu Chaucer basiert auf der Ausgabe „The Riverside Chaucer“, hrsg. von Larry Dean Benson (Boston, 1987 und Oxford, 1988), der heute international verbindlichen Ausgabe. Diese computer-gestützte Chaucer-Konkordanz ersetzt das von Hand erstellte Werk von Tatlock und Kennedy (1927), dem die heute veraltete „Globe-Edition“ zugrunde liegt. *** The ten volumes of A COMPLETE CONCORDANCE TO THE WORKS OF GEOFFREY CHAUCER make possible systematic studies of Chaucer’s language and text for the first time. They have a great potential as a standard research tool for English medievalists, historians of the language and historians of ideas. They allow students of Chaucer's syntax to analyse common and “high-frequency” words in their contexts. The Concordance is based on the Riverside Chaucer published under the general editorship of Larry d. Benson (Boston 1987, and Oxford 1988). The two volumes of A RHYME CONCORDANCE TO THE POETICAL WORKS OF GEOFFREY CHAUCER are a sequel to the Concordance. The Rhyme Concordance is the first of its kind. The five volumes of A LEXICAL CON¬CORDANCE TO THE WORKS OF GEOFFREY CHAUCER are a sequel to the Concordance as well. A Lexical Concordance To The Works Of Geoffrey Chaucer is lemmatized and largely based on the Middle English Dictionary, all morphologically variant forms of a word are gathered under a convenient heading, as in most dictionaries.
