Major Grant awarded to the Anglo-Norman project

02 December 2012

In 2012, the AHRC awarded a further £802,412 to the AND project, bringing the total awarded to this project since 1996 from Research Council and other sources to £2,279,934 (or just: £2.28m) to enable revision of N-Q, and (through the appointment of a third research assistant to a two-year post), to implement a number of editorial changes: introduction of systematic cross-references to relevant dictionaries, and a complete overhaul of the usage labels in the Dictionary. In addition, from N onwards, the editors will be annotating entries with brief (or in a few cases, not so brief) comments about etymology and the rationale of the entry’s arrangement. As part of this next phase of the AND, Aberystwyth University is funding a Ph.D. studentship.
