purpose-built text corpora. Such an approach has not been attempted before, and is made possible by the combination of philological expertise and the development of corpus annotation methods based on deep learning technology. The project is expected to lead to a breakthrough in the study of linguistic variation, where small-scale patterning has largely been ignored. Linguistic traces, combined with the findings of archaeology and genetics, are expected to form a powerful means of reconstructing the past, throwing light on past linguistic areas and interactions as well as on the maintenance of local and regional identities. language contact, language change, linguistic variation, medieval history, mapping, populations, onomastics, Celtic languages, Old Norse, Old English, dialectology, low-frequency variation
