Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Welcome to the Dictionary of Old English Corpus. Old English is the earliest form of the English language, spoken and written between 600 and 1150 AD. The DOE Corpus contains at least one version of every known Old English text. So when you search the Corpus, you search almost every word of Old English in the world. This video shows you how to use the Dictionary of Old English and the Corpus even if you don’t have a background in Old English: for example, if you are researching the law or medicine of Anglo-Saxon England. In this video, we explore how you can use the DOE and the Corpus to research eye disease in primary sources. First step: go to the DOE and find Old English words related to eye disease. Second step: go to the Corpus nand find all passages in Old English where the “eye disease”-related words occur. So let’s turn to the DOE. First, let’s look at the Old English word “eye” itself: from the search screen, select “Definition” and “eye”. You get a list of words that contain the modern English word “eye” in their definitions. Scroll down to the word “eage,” Old English for “eye.” Now look at the definition, sense 1b: You find Old English terms for a variety of eye problems: for example, the more general “pain in the eyes”: sar or sarnes eagena or on eagum (pain in the eyes); eagena ece, eagena wærc; or the more specific “fleah on eagan” (white spot on the eyes: cataract). Scroll down from the definitions to see what texts these terms occur in. You’ll note that your main Old English sources on eye disease are: LCHII (Bald’s Leechbook); LCHI (Pseudo-Apuleius’ Herbarium and Medicina de quadripedibus); Peri Didaxeon. If you want to focus on one specific ailment, time to turn to the Corpus. Take “eagena untrumnes”, infirmity of the eyes. Search for eag* and untrumn*: wildcards instead of word endings give you more flexibility. What you get is a helpful index to the expression’s occurrence in the corpus: Its components occur once in Ælfric’s Grammar and Glossary; four times in the Herbarium; once in Bald’s Leechbook; and once in Anglo-Saxon Magic and Medicine. If you are researching “weakness or infirmity of the eyes,” this is a reliable list of primary sources to begin your inquiry. This video showed you how to combine the DOE and the Corpus to mine primary sources for historical research. For more information, please see the DOE Help Manual.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Help Screencast 3 Welcome to the Dictionary of Old English Corpus. Old English is the earliest form of the English language, spoken and written between 600 and 1150 AD. The DOE Corpus contains at least one version of every known Old English text. So when you search the Corpus, you search almost every word of Old English in the world. This video shows you how to perform a basic search of the Corpus. Let’s get started with the Old English word helm, origin of the Modern English ‘helm’ in the sense of ‘helmet.’ In Old English, helm means head covering, protection, but also crown or summit. So let’s see how helm was used in Old English. We enter helm in the top search box on the left and click the “Search” button. We get 110 citations that contain the word “helm.” If you want, you can look at the usage of helm just in poetry, or just in verse, or just in gloss. Select “Restrict by class” and pick the option “verse.” Now you have poetic usages only, beginning with the poem Genesis A: [3400 (112)] Her ærest gesceop ece drihten, helm eallwihta, heofon and eorðan, rodor arærde, and þis rume land gestaþelode strangum mihtum, frea ælmihtig. Here first created the eternal Lord, the helm—that is, protector—of all creatures, earth and heaven, raised up the sky, established this spacious land with strong might, the almighty lord. To see a text’s full title and bibliographical information, click on the hyperlink at the citation’s start. Back to the search: You can restrict your results even further. Suppose you’re curious how the Beowulf-poet uses helm. Lift the class restriction and go to “Restrict by Works” instead. To learn how the DOE abbreviates Beowulf, go to “List of Texts,” from the top menu. Enter “Beowulf” in the search box below the alphabet. Now you know both the Old English Short Title and the Cameron number. Go back to “Home.” Under “Restrict by Works,” choose “Short Title” and enter “Beo.” You have 28 citations that exemplify the usage of helm in Beowulf. But what if you’re looking not just for the word helm as such, but for the word helm in alternate spellings, inflected forms, even in compounds? Surround it with asterisks, which allow wildcard searches. Suddenly, even just in Beowulf, you have 43 matches instead of 28. This search, the wildcard search, turns up words that contain helm: inflected forms, like the dative under helme; or compounds, like grimhelmas (‘visored helmets’) or helmberend (‘helm-bearing’). This video showed you the basics of Corpus searches: how to find one word in the Old English corpus; how to restrict your search to one kind of text, or even just one text; how to access bibliographical information for a citation; how to include compounds and inflected forms in your search. Happy searching with the Dictionary of Old English!

Old English is the earliest form of the English language, spoken and written between 600 and 1150 AD. The DOE Corpus contains at least one version of every known Old English text. So when you search the Corpus, you search almost every word of Old English in the world. This video shows you how to search the Corpus for combinations of words. Let’s start with two words that Modern English readily connects: the idiomatic expression ‘house and home,’ hus 7 ham in Old English. To search for this expression in the DOE corpus, simply type in “hus ham” in the search box. Alternatively, type in “hus”, select “AND” from the drop-down menu, and type “ham” in the search box that follows. This search will give you all seven Old English citations in which the words hus and ham appear—in any order. If you want your two words to appear in a particular order, you will have to use regular expressions. Regular expressions are a way of searching for a defined verbal formula: a formula that contains certain words in a certain order, but maybe other words in between. The syntax for regular expressions involves wildcards and slashes. The wildcards are ? and *. ? stands for any one character. * stands for nothing, a single character, or any number of characters. And if you put forward slashes (/) around an expression, you limit your search to citations that have those words in that very order. So if you look for /hus * ham/, you only get 4 citations in which hus and ham appear in the order you specified. Don’t forget the * between the two words, or else the // will be stripped off and you’ll default to the initial search for ‘hus 7 ham’ in any order. But what if you want to control your search even more closely? Suppose you want to search for two words that occur, not just in the same citation, but at a certain distance from one another? Then you have to do a proximity search. The proximity search has two steps. Step 1: Enter the two words only (no slashes, no asterisks) and run your search. Step 2: Below the Spelling Combinations, find the bar entitled ‘Proximity Distance.’ This determines how many words may be between your two search terms. With your mouse, grab the slider with the number on it and set it to the desired setting—let’s say “3.” Then click “Use the slider value.” To see the newly filtered results, click on each of the spellings under Spelling Combinations. You will now see only those citations which have three or fewer words between hus and ham. Note that the number next to each spelling combination measures how often that spelling combination occurs in the entire corpus, at the original proximity distance, not the new proximity distance you just selected. This video showed you advanced Corpus searches using combinations of words, regular expressions, and proximity searches. For more information, please see the DOE Help Manual.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Help Screencast 2 Welcome to the Dictionary of Old English, which defines the earliest form of the English language, spoken and written between 600 and 1150 AD. This video shows you how to navigate entries in the Dictionary of Old English. You’ll learn how to select an entry, what the parts of an entry are, and what to do with the evidence in each part. Let’s get started. You’ve seen how to do basic searches in our first video. You can also scroll through the dictionary’s entries in alphabetical order. The word wheel is just below the search screen. Click on a letter to display its entries. Let’s pick one sample entry -- “goldsmith” -- and go through its components. First, the headword is the word defined by a dictionary entry, the word that a dictionary entry is all about. Next up, grammatical information about the word: part of speech, grammatical gender if it’s a noun, strong or weak if it’s a noun or verb. Very occasionally, you’ll also find etymological information. Next, attested Spellings: these are all forms of our headword that are recorded in the DOE Web Corpus. Next, occurrence: how often the headword occurs in the corpus, and how it is used: is it mainly a poetic term? Or does it usually appear in medical texts, laws, glossaries, charters? Is it a word mostly used in the north of England? Is it mostly used by one author, such as Wulfstan or Ælfric? Are there other patterns in its usage, in terms of date of MS, or dialect, or region, or genre of text? Goldsmið, since it has no restriction noted, seems to be general Old English. Next, citations: the evidence behind the definitions. Every sense of every word is illustrated with citations from the DOE Corpus. Click on the hyperlink at the beginning of a citation—which is the citation reference--to see where a citation comes from: you’ll see the bibliographical information for the text, its full title, and the edition used by the DOE. For example, take this citation: A list of occupations in Latin is glossed in Old English; the word goldsmið translates aurifex, goldsmith, distinguishing it from with other kinds of smiths and craftsmen, such as smiths, iron smiths, silver smiths, ore smiths, and wood workers. If you click on the hyperlink, you see that the citation comes from Ælfric’s Colloquy, edited by Garmonsway. At the bottom, each entry has the equivalent of footnotes: references to related material beyond just the headword. For Old English related words, see Cross Reference: this shows you Old English words related to the headword. For Latin related words, see Latin Cross Reference: this shows you Latin equivalents for the headword drawn from manuscripts with Old English text and the parallel Latin source, like the Rule of St. Benedict. For related words in other dictionaries, see Secondary Cross Reference. ‘Goldsmith,’ for example, has related entries in the Middle English Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary. This allows you to trace the word across the entire history of English. Finally, in some entries you may find Additional material or Parenthetical material. The first has editorial notes on the entry, while the second has notes on the citations. Now that you know the parts of an entry in the DOE, you can navigate entries and fully use their evidence. If you ever want more information about part of an entry, go to the top menu in the DOE interface and click on “Sample Entry.” Then click on the red bullets to uncover information about each part of an entry.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Help Screencast 1 Welcome to the Dictionary of Old English. The Dictionary of Old English (DOE) defines the earliest form of the English language, spoken and written between 600 and 1150 AD. This video shows you how to use the Dictionary of Old English to carry out basic research tasks. You’ll learn how to look up an OE word how to look up a modern English word All right: Let’s get started. First, let’s look up an OE word. The DOE defines Old English words from A to G. Suppose you want to look up the Old English word gefnesan. Select “Headword” from the drop-down menu. Then enter your word, gefnesan, in the next search box. Please use lower case letters; some capital letters—A as in apple, D as in Delta, and T as in Tango—always appear as special Old English characters Æ (Ash), Ð (Eth), and þ (Thorn). Once you’ve typed in your word, click “Search”. The entry with the word’s definition appears on the right-hand side: “gefnesan” means “to sneeze.” Old English uses the letters Æ (Ash), Ð (Eth), and þ (Thorn). What if your word contains these special characters? Use capital letters to enter them into the DOE search box. Let`s take the word ælþeodig: type capital A for Ash, capital T for thorn. If you can`t find a match, then your word may be defined under another spelling. To find it, select “Attested Spelling” from the drop-down menu. This will let you look at all word forms that exist in the corpus and that are related to defined words. And success: aeltheodig means foreign. You have successfully looked up two Old English words. But what if you want to do the opposite—look up a modern English word in Old English? In that case, select “Definition” from the drop-down menu. Enter your Modern English word (let’s say ‘sneeze’) in the search box. And there you go: gefnesan is the Old English word you are looking for. Using the Definition field, you can look up a simple and specific term, like ‘sneeze.’ Or you can explore the semantic field of a term with more wide-ranging connections. For example, ‘wife’ appears in the definitions of a range of Old English words, describing a wife, marriage, betrothal, family relationships—but also repudiation, divorce, and the severing of domestic ties.

The Dictionary of Old English (DOE) defines the earliest form of the English language, spoken and written between 600 and 1150 AD. This video shows you how to use the Dictionary of Old English to carry out basic research tasks. You’ll learn how to look up an OE word how to look up a modern English word All right: Let’s get started. First, let’s look up an OE word. The DOE defines Old English words from A to G. Suppose you want to look up the Old English word gefnesan. Select “Headword” from the drop-down menu. Then enter your word, gefnesan, in the next search box. Please use lower case letters; some capital letters—A as in apple, D as in Delta, and T as in Tango—always appear as special Old English characters Æ (Ash), Ð (Eth), and þ (Thorn). Once you’ve typed in your word, click “Search”. The entry with the word’s definition appears on the right-hand side: “gefnesan” means “to sneeze.” Old English uses the letters Æ (Ash), Ð (Eth), and þ (Thorn). What if your word contains these special characters? Use capital letters to enter them into the DOE search box. Let`s take the word ælþeodig: type capital A for Ash, capital T for thorn. If you can`t find a match, then your word may be defined under another spelling. To find it, select “Attested Spelling” from the drop-down menu. This will let you look at all word forms that exist in the corpus and that are related to defined words. And success: aeltheodig means foreign. You have successfully looked up two Old English words. But what if you want to do the opposite—look up a modern English word in Old English? In that case, select “Definition” from the drop-down menu. Enter your Modern English word (let’s say ‘sneeze’) in the search box. And there you go: gefnesan is the Old English word you are looking for. Using the Definition field, you can look up a simple and specific term, like ‘sneeze.’ Or you can explore the semantic field of a term with more wide-ranging connections. For example, ‘wife’ appears in the definitions of a range of Old English words, describing a wife, marriage, betrothal, family relationships—but also repudiation, divorce, and the severing of domestic ties.

It seemed to me that I saw a more wonderful tree, lifted in the air, wound round with light, the brightest of beams. That beacon was entirely cased in gold; beautiful gems stood at the corners of the earth, likewise there were five upon the cross-beam. All those fair through creation gazed on the angel of the Lord there. Duration Length of time involved (seconds, minutes, hours, days, class periods, etc.) 33 s.
