'To Kate' (v.) #cl2023 Quick peek inside the new The Arden Shakespeare Encyclopedia of #Shakespeare Language Every single word of his plays is included (minus proper nouns and numbers)!

And there was cake! #CL2023

Being a small part of the Encyclopedia of Shakespeare’s Language Project project was one of the highlights of my time at Linguistics and English Language, Lancaster Uni. Holding the encyclopedia for the first time earlier this week was really special. Congratulations to Jonathan Culpeper, Andrew Hardie and Jane Demmen on these first two volumes!!

Last session of #CL2023 was the launch of this magnificent opus. Sadly, I will be none the wiser as to how 'publikely', a variant of 'publicly' in Shakespeare's time, would have been pronounced, but you can't have it all. Now off to Liverpool to visit old friends so... pub likely

A celebration of some of the fabulous names that helped with the Arden Encyclopaedia of Shakespeare’s language during the last session of #CL2023 🥂Jonathan Culpeper Andrew Hardie et al 📖

I guess the launch of the first volumes of Encyclopedia of Shakespeare’s Language Project is a good opportunity to mention that one of the long term goals of _this_ project is to undertake a similar project for Tolkien. The Tolkien Glossary project is the starting point. More information soon.

Spending a couple of days in London between #CL2023 and #IPrA2023. Following yesterday’s Encyclopedia of Shakespeare’s Language Project encyclopedia launch, we couldn’t resist a trip to Shakespeare’s Globe! ⭕️📚

And don't miss the launch of the first two volumes of The Arden Encyclopedia of Shakespeare's Language tomorrow at 4.00-4.30pm in Hub 502. Prosecco & soft drinks will be served! bloomsbury.com/uk/arden-encyc… Encyclopedia of Shakespeare’s Language Project Jonathan Culpeper

Come to the stand and get a sneak preview of the forthcoming Arden Encyclopedia of Shakespeare's Language... Jonathan Culpeper Encyclopedia of Shakespeare’s Language Project

Wonderful news about this publication! It comes after 25 years of preparation, a £1 million AHRC grant, a team of up to 25 researchers, and seven years of hard work. The project was conceived and led by Professor Jonathan Culpeper of Linguistics and English Language, Lancaster Uni. tinyurl.com/4h8zcs9j

25 years of preparation, 25 researchers, and seven years of hard work, and we finally know: dinner happens at midday (according to Shakespeare, anyway). Inevitably, a thread ⬇️ 1/5

Last week, the 25-year-long Encyclopedia of Shakespeare’s Language Project research project, by our amazing Linguistics and English Language, Lancaster Uni academics, saw the publication of an encyclopedia of Shakespeare's words and nuances 👏 Jonathan Culpeper | Bloomsbury Books UK lancaster.ac.uk/news/new-verba…

We're pleased to see the research project picked up by major outlets, including The Telegraph (paywall) 👇 telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/08/2…

And yes, he did have thoughts on the dinner vs supper debate All of this, and more, is covered in this excellent thread by the research funder, Arts and Humanities Research Council 👇 x.com/ahrcpress/stat…

Corpus linguistics is a branch of linguistics which uses computers to explore the use of words in huge collections of language. Experts examined 20,000 words gleaned from a million-word corpus of Shakespeare’s plays. bit.ly/3P1zzZk

Shakespeare is usually associated with powerful language, but what if we viewed his work through numbers? Our new blog by Jonathan Culpeper explores using computers to identify large-scale and subtle patterns in Shakespeare’s language: orlo.uk/plsOT #ShakespeareDay 🎭
