Hexenverhörprotokolle als sprachhistorisches Korpus

Witch trial protocols are important written witnesses to the early modern period. The examination of such protocols as a language-history corpus requires an interdisciplinary approach, given the special context of their creation. Against this backdrop, this volume seeks to illustrate the potential offered by witch trial protocols as a historical corpus for conducting studies in corpus linguistics, graphematics, and morphosyntax.
