The Encyclopaedia of Shakespeare’s Language project has just welcomed three new members to its team who will be working part-time on low-frequency items. Find out a little more about them below:<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"Luke Wilding:<\/strong>
\nI completed my undergraduate degree in English Literature at the end of 2016, and I am now completing a masters through research. During my year off, I worked on the Encyclopaedia of Shakespeare’s Language project\u00a0and focused on demonology, religious, and musical terminology. Pior to university, I\u00a0worked as a professional classical\u00a0musician, so this was an good hybrid of my two interests. I also wrote a couple of blog posts for the project last year which are up on the website (here<\/a> and here<\/a>). At present, I have returned to\u00a0Lancaster to complete my masters through research on the topic of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake and its relationship to Gilles Deleuze and F\u00e9lix Guattari’s concept of the rhizome. I am currently working on\u00a0Shakespeare’s political and economic language. During my prior work on the project,\u00a0I enjoyed\u00a0finding interesting early-modern\u00a0terms which have fallen out of use as well as\u00a0a number\u00a0of highly-complex and\u00a0nuanced\u00a0ideas which no longer figure in modern thought. I\u00a0am excited to return\u00a0to the project for the chance for a similar\u00a0acquisition of knowledge in an entirely different subject-area.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>After completing my undergraduate degree in English Language and Culture in both the Netherlands and in London, I then decided to focus more on linguistic analysis in my masters. I completed a double masters degree in both the Netherlands and in Malta in computational linguistics, expanding on my knowledge of statistical\/computational approaches to linguistics . Drawing on research from digital humanities, I kept my focus on English and decided to write my thesis on Shakespeare’s use of pronominal address terms. Throughout this period, I worked closely with Jonathan Culpeper and the rest of the team, and spent a few months working in Lancaster to write my thesis. Now I am back on the project, mainly to work on the low-frequency items in the category of “food”.<\/p>\n

\"\"Becky Hoddinott<\/strong>
\nI’m a second-year undergraduate student in both Linguistics and English Language, with a current focus on media and discourse analysis. My role in the project is studying the “foreign” words found within Shakespeare, so I will be looking at items from Latin, French, Italian, and Spanish; defining them; and examining corpus databases to discover whether these words were occurring elsewhere in English over that same period. I’ve really enjoyed working on the project so far; I’ve always enjoyed studying languages, and being part of this project is certainly putting my skills to good use.\u00a0As a keen historian and avid reader, I was truly excited by the prospect of working on this project in particular, and having completed Lancaster’s online course in corpus linguistics, I was keen to gain some more experience in this particular area of research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
