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.
