Notes
1 I am indebted to Michael Adams’ review article “The Lexical Ride of a Lifetime” (2013).
2 There are obvious advantages to digitalization. While digital DARE contains essentially the information found in Volumes i–v, one can manipulate this information in such a way as to create an untold number of unique maps, widely drawn by region or narrowly drawn by the interaction of social or geographical factors. Unique to digital DARE as well is the opportunity to access clips from the recordings made by DARE researchers now fifty years past. A preview of digital DARE is available at <www.hup.harvard.edu/features/dare/digital>. In addition, one hundred DARE entries, a generous sample of the maps from Volume vi, and other materials are free online and can be accessed at <www.daredictionary.com>. A fun tutorial, “Digital DARE Quiz: A Scavenger Hunt,” demonstrating what digital DARE can do, was prepared by Julie Schnebly and appeared in the Winter 2014 issue of the DARE Newsletter. Subscriptions granting full access to the database are currently available to institutions for $1200 and to individuals for $150 per annum, quite a bargain considering that, as of early June 2014, Amazon was selling Volume v for $123.50 and Volume vi for $68.95.
