- This monograph brings together data from a range of sources, both diachronic and synchronic. This multi-faceted approach made data collection and analysis particularly lengthy and complex (the entire project took 5 years). Fifty interviews and eight follow ups were undertaken with speakers in Normandy over two visits totalling eight months; cloze tests were completed and analysed; and two existing large digital corpora, i.e. FRANTEXT and ESLO, were searched for complex syntactic configurations, with hundreds of tokens from different historical periods then sorted manually in preparation for quantitative and qualitative analysis.
