- Inhalt
- This exercise course investigates linguistic and literary evidence from a rather distant though very exciting past. Therefore, its focus is in the truest sense of the word ‘medieval’. Antedating the popular works of W. Shakespeare or G. Chaucer by several centuries, this enthralling and unique episode of 'British' history – and the English language in particular – is commonly referred to by modern scholars as the ‘Old English’ or ‘Anglo-Saxon’ period. Among several philologists of the 20th and 21st centuries, even the famous creator of Middle Earth, J.R.R. Tolkien, did not hesitate when determinedly calling himself a ‘medievalist’ or an ‘Anglo-Saxonist’. It is to the vernacular language and literature of the Anglo-Saxons, Germanic inhabitants of the early medieval British kingdoms, that this course will turn. It is designed to provide a graspable introduction into the grammatical system of Old English which, compared to its modern “successor”, is quite complex. Assignments are intended primarily though not exclusively for students of English linguistics who are also attending the lecture of the same title (taught by Prof. Dr. Gabriele Knappe). Together we will read, translate and explore select literary sources and shorter texts which are relevant for both classes. Although there are no linguistic requirements for this course in the first place, students might well profit from a basic mastery of Latin or French. Classes are taught in English. Yet, beginners in the history of the English language are more than welcome when exploring the intriguing and charismatic language of King Ælfred the Great and his contemporaries.
