It is intended to complement the&nbsp;<em>Oxford English Dictionary<\/em>&nbsp;for the earliest period of the language; indeed, the&nbsp;<em>Dictionary of Old English<\/em>&nbsp;will catalogue the Old English vocabulary deliberately excluded from the&nbsp;<em>OED<\/em>&nbsp;because it failed to survive past 1150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dictionary draws on as wide a range of texts &#8212; in date, dialect and genre &#8212; as possible. It differs from previous dictionaries in several important features: a listing in a simplified paradigmatic order of every spelling which is attested for a word in the Electronic Corpus; frequency counts for each word in the Corpus so that readers can know what proportion of the evidence has been cited; usage labels where they are statistically significant, noting restrictions to a class of texts, to an author, or to a particular period or dialect; exhaustive citation for all words of twelve or fewer occurrences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first fascicle of the&nbsp;<em>Dictionary of Old English<\/em>, the letter&nbsp;<em>D<\/em>, was published in 1986 (4 fiche); the second fascicle, the letter&nbsp;<em>C<\/em>, was published in 1988. The package containing this new fascicle, the letter&nbsp;<em>B<\/em>, consists of 9 fiche along with a Preface to Reader in booklet form, supplementing the information on principles and practices which accompanied Fascicles&nbsp;<em>C<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>D<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fascicle&nbsp;<em>B<\/em>&nbsp;was prepared by the late Ashley Crandell Amos and Antonette diPaolo Healey (co-editors), Joan Holland, Christine Franzen, David McDougall, Ian McDougall, Nancy Speirs, and Pauline Thompson, using materials assembled by the late Angus Cameron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"378\" height=\"617\" src=\"https:\/\/doe.artsci.utoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/bcover.gif\" alt=\"Book cover for the Dictionary of Old English: Fascicle B\" class=\"wp-image-218\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1991 &#8211; 9 fiche.
