Grant
Professor David Trotter has been awarded £66,353 as the Aberystwyth element of a joint Heidelberg-Aberystwyth grant from the AHRC and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The grant, to run 2009-2012, will fund a researcher (Jennifer Gabel) who will work for two years in Heidelberg, on the Dictionnaire étymologique de l'ancien français (DEAF) and one year in Aberystwyth on the Anglo-Norman Dictionary (AND). Ms Gabel will at the same time be editing the Anglo-Norman translation of Baudri de Bourgueil's chronicle of the First Crusade, for a Heidelberg doctorate. In addition to what it will bring in concrete terms to the DEAF and to the AND, the grant is also a formalisation of a close long-standing collaboration between the two projects.

Consortium for Corpora of Medieval French
Créé en octobre 2004 à l'initiative de sept partenaires fondateurs (Université d'Ottawa, École Normale Supérieure Lettres et Sciences humaines, Université de Stuttgart, Université de Zürich, Laboratoire ATILF, Université du Pays de Galles, École nationale des chartes), ce consortium s'est formé autour de la pratique d'échanges réguliers de textes médiévaux, des questions liées à l'élaboration des bases de données textuelles et des problématiques de recherche communes sur ces textes.
The text corpus which forms part of the Anglo-Norman Hub Project (funded by the AHRC) is a part of this substantial international project, led from the ENS-LSH Lyon) which seeks, inter alia:
- to establish a common taxonomy and universal identification system for all medieval French texts;
- to integrate and make reciprocally searchable different textual corpora in France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Canada);
- to make it possible (through the shared taxonomy) to search for particular linguistic features (lexical, grammatical, graphical ...) in selected text categories (e.g. by date, location, genre, form ...).
