- Inhalt
- Description:
Would you – as a traveller in time – be able to talk to Geoffrey Chaucer, who died 617 years ago? Would you understand his form of English, and he yours? And what about the author of Beowulf, for instance, who lived some further 400 years before Chaucer? You would certainly have many words in common, and both the author of Beowulf and you, for instance, could understand the Old English sentence He swam west in storm and wind and frost. But then he (or she?) would have to explain to you that leode means 'people' (compare German Leute) and Chaucer would be puzzled by the word and concept of the internet, for example.
For all those with exploratory spirit and interest in the earlier stages of the English language – but with no previous knowledge of them – this guided tour will prepare the ground to venture on their own paths of discovery of the forms of the language from which modern English developed. Placing the emphasis on Middle English, you will find out about similarities and differences to modern English (and also to German), regarding sounds, words, grammar and meaning. At the end of the semester, you will be able to answer the questions asked at the beginning of this description in much more detail – and you might actually be able to talk to Chaucer; given that a time machine has been invented by then.
Knowledge of earlier stages of the English language are not required for participation in this course.
