This comprehensive book offers groundbreaking insights into various aspects of Old and Middle English language and literature, presenting state-of-the-art analyses of linguistic phenomena and literary developments during those periods. By exploring new directions for future research, it fosters a deeper understanding of these languages and their rich literary heritage.
The volume delves into diverse areas of English diachronic linguistics, including the evolution of binominals and collective nouns in Old and Middle English, the early history of intensifiers like 'deadly' and 'mortally,' the articulatory-acoustic properties of approximants in English, Old English metrics, the methodology of corpus research with a focus on paleography, studies of the interplay between language register and style, and a chapter dedicated to the periodology of Older Scots.
The final section of the book addresses literary and translational concerns, such as the influence of Latin 'quis' on the Middle English interrogative 'who of,' the challenges encountered in translating Beowulf into Galician, a reinterpretation of Chaucer's 'Knights Tale,' and a discussion of the structure of medieval manuscripts containing miscellanea.
Through its comprehensive coverage and innovative approaches, this book serves as a valuable resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of Old and Middle English language and literature, contributing to our understanding of these historical languages and their enduring literary significance.
