The mixed-language (Latin, Anglo-Norman, and Middle English) business texts of London from the period 1275 to 1500 are a rich source of evidence for the medieval dialect of London. Laura Wright presents an extensive vocabulary survey of these documents, and assesses their value as a source of evidence about the development of standard English.
