Inhalt
“And gladly wold he lerne [...]”, one of the famous quotes from Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales which is probably the most famous piece of literature from the period of Middle English, will serve us as a guiding principle to delve into the respective period of the development of the English language, a period of profound changes and great diversity on all linguistic levels. We will link our survey of linguistic features to extra-linguistic matters, such as historical events and cultural phenomena. We will work with excerpts from literature to encounter different genres and use them as sources for linguistic analyses. Eventually, the course is supposed to enable the participants to gain access to any Middle English text by using reference materials.?By the end of the class participants will have gained an overview of the main issues of Middle English studies.
