The AMC Symposium, organised by the members of the FITS team and the Angus McIntosh Centre for Historical Linguistics, gives us a wonderful opportunity to share our research with fellow historical linguists. FITS Team members are involved in the following presentations:
- Rhona Alcorn and Rob Truswell: A Parsed Linguistic Atlas of Early Middle English
- Warren Maguire: The phonology of early nineteenth-century Tyneside English as revealed in Thomas Wilson’s The Pitman’s Pay
- Benjamin Molineaux and Joanna Kopaczyk: L-vocalisation in fifteenth-century Scots: The earliest spread of a ‘characteristic’ Scots feature
- Daisy Smith: The predictability of {-S} abbreviation in Older Scots manuscripts according to stem-final littera
The abstracts can be found in the Book of Abstracts, and for the full programme, see this link.
