Subject: Publication announcement
This notice has been posted to several lists. Our apologies for any
duplication you may receive.
We are delighted to announce the imminent publication of
A Thesaurus of Old English
by Jane Roberts and Christian Kay, with Lynne Grundy
The thesaurus, offered as a research tool to Anglo-Saxonists,
linguists and all historians of ideas and culture, has been long
awaited. It is drawn from a database of more than 50,000 entries,
each recording a discrete word sense of Old English vocabulary;
those materials are drawn largely from the standard dictionaries of
the language, with some supplementation from the available
fascicles of the Toronto Dictionary of Old English, and from the
DOE's working materials. The thesaurus classification is based on
that designed by Michael Samuels and Christian Kay for the
Historial Thesaurus of English, for which the TOE may be
regarded as a pilot.
