📄 Lynda Mugglestone, The Oxford History of English

Summary

The supplied extraction contains only the front matter of this item, not the body of the review. The document is a short book review by Graham Ranger in Lexis: Journal in English Lexicology (2006). It covers The Oxford History of English, a 485-page volume edited by Lynda Mugglestone and published by Oxford University Press in 2006. The visible pages hold only the title, bibliographic details, the online publication date, the DOI and the license statement. Ranger's actual assessment does not appear: his view of the book's scope, structure, chapters or strengths and weaknesses is missing. So this summary cannot report the problem the review addresses, its method or its conclusions without inventing them. The item fits the library as a pointer to a standard reference on the history of English. Anyone who needs the reviewer's judgement should retrieve the full text through the DOI below and summarize it again.

Key points

• Item type: a book review in the "Book reviews" section of Lexis, published by Université Jean Moulin – Lyon 3.
• Reviewed book: The Oxford History of English, edited by Lynda Mugglestone; 485 pages, issued in 2006 by Oxford University Press.
• Online since 1 December 2006. DOI: 10.4000/lexis.1895. ISSN: 1951-6215. Hosted on OpenEdition (journals.openedition.org/lexis/1895).
• License: Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0, so the text may not be redistributed or adapted.
• The extracted text contains only metadata. None of the review's evaluative content is available.

Interesting ideas

• I1. The record comes with its license, DOI and stable URL attached, so its reuse rights travel with it; storing such provenance per document keeps any downstream use auditable.
• I2. The extraction turned out to be front matter only (title, publisher, license notice). A pipeline should notice when a "paper" carries no real body before it tries to extract meaning from it.

For Mova

How these ideas could serve Mova, our small open language model — its files, stages and tests:

• I1 (learn): Tag every training or evaluation text with its source and license, so silver data built from no-derivatives sources can be excluded or kept internal-only.
• I2 (world): Flag a document as content-empty when its world of the text yields only bibliographic entities and no events or states, so answers are not built on an empty base.
