230179 Middle English (S) (SoSe 2024)

Contents, comment

In this course we'll take a closer at the time period between 1066 and 1500. This means that we'll look at the demographic make-up of and change in society, the role of the church and monarchy, which all set the background for and influenced linguistic change. We will look at Middle English grammar and phonology and work on numerous exercises, but will also look more closely at literary texts (for example, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales) and discuss in what ways the authors used English.

I expect that students taking this class not only have finished the history of English lecture but also have an interest in Middle English.
