The Dickens Society has a new YouTube channel, which can be accessed here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDQ-rsLWgE1DRSncE97iUdg. In the coming weeks, we will feature a Spotlight series that presents ongoing research projects by Dickensian scholars. Filmed during the 2018 Tübingen, Germany conference at Karls Eberhard University, the following interviewees discuss their work: Michaela Mahlberg on the CLiC Dickens Project, Jeremy Parrott on the annotated set of All the Year Round, Hugo Bowles on transcribing Dickens’s shorthand, and Matthias Bauer and Angelika Zirker on studying the linguistic, generic, and conceptual ambiguity found in Dickens’s novels and teaching them to non-native speakers of English. 

In this film, Prof. Michaela Mahlberg (University of Birmingham) describes the CLiC Dickens Project, an AHRC-funded, collaborative project between the University of Nottingham and the University of Birmingham, and demonstrates how to use the free web app’s concordance search.
