Page 2-Friday, December 1, 1978-The Michigan Daily DICTIONARY DUE IN TEN YEARS a- Middle-English book half-done By WILLIAM THOMPSON Jaded students who are forced to grind their way through the Canterbury Tales and other challenging literary products of the Middle Ages can get the per- fect study aid from the English 'Department-in about ten years. The department is currently working on a dic- tionary of Middle English, and according to Depar- tment Chairman Jax Robinson, "it will be the first complete record of English from the period of 1100 to 15.00." THE DICTIONARY has been a project at the University since 1930 and has consumed the efforts of four editors. Robinson said the dictionary "is published through the letter 'M' and the material has been compiled through 'N.' It should be complete in ten years." Although the dictionary is expected to be of im- mense value to those who study the works of Middle English writers, researchers are quick to point out that anyone interested in a subject involving England durng the Middle Ages will also profit from the dic- tionary. These include social, political, and economic historians, as well as musicologists, art historians, and philosophers. Work on the difctionary is coordinated by Professor Sherman Kuhn, who has been involved with the project for thirty years. "PROFESSOR KUHN is past retirement age, but works on special appointment by the Regents," noted Robinson. "We are now in the process of selecting a co-editor who will work with Professor Kuhn until Kuhn retires, when the new editor will succeed him. "Turnover of staffs is no problem," he continued. "It takes a long time to train editors, but it's worth it as long as they are around for ten or 15 years." Professor Kuhn said that assembly of the dic- tionary is based on reading programs. "AS NEW MANUSCRIPTS are discovered and published, we read them and put the words into our files," he explained. "We've continued reading for 40 years and it never stops. They're always finding something that we've never heard of. "We analyze each word with all the evidence we can gather, define it, explain the forms and find the etymology," Kuhn continued. "We still have to publish a supplement to pick up the things we missed. .Much has come to us since the early part of the alphabet was done, and I don't think that there will be another project like this for a long time.
