The aim of the present project is to make A LINGUISTIC ATLAS OF LATE MEDIAEVAL ENGLISH, an indispensable reference tool to scholars working on the language and literature of the Middle English period, more accessible and flexible as an interactive website (e-LALME). E-LALME will be available to every user from their own desktop and will be linked to a Linguistic Atlas of Early Middle English (LAEME) and a Linguistic Atlas of Older Scots (LAOS). In addition links may be made to the on-line open-access dictionaries: the Dictionary of the Scots Language, the Middle English Compendium and the Anglo-Norman Dictionary.There is also the possibility of links to and from other related electronic resources, such as the Oxford English Dictionary. A link to the on-going Middle English Grammar Project's database (Glasgow / Stavanger) is envisaged. E-LALME will be a digitized, on-line version of the present volumes, corrected and variously augmented. It will include more canonical maps than the present volumes, and the potential for users to make maps to their own specifications from the e-LALME data-base. E-LALME will provide a powerful resource not only for dialectology, but also for historical linguistics and socio-linguistics, medieval literature and historical studies. Further, its general accessibility and flexibility will make it a valuable interactive tool for teaching the History of English.
