Fraser Dallachy

Fraser's principal interests are in historical linguistics and the use of corpus linguistic methodologies for research into historical forms of language. He worked as a Research Associate on the SAMUELS (Semantic Annotation and Mark-Up for Enhancing Lexical Searching) project which integrated the Historical Thesaurus of English into a semantic tagging software pipeline, and on the Linguistic DNA project which is developing a means of automatically identifying the emergence of concepts in historical text. He has additional interests in the physical objects - manuscripts and early printed books - from which we draw our knowledge of historical language, and catalogued the manuscripts and investigated the likely audience of a medieval didactic poem for my PhD research.
