Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course provides an introduction to Old English (OE), the oldest attested stage of the English language, used up to the early 12th century. From the start, the discussion of the main linguistic features of OE will be linked with the reading and analysis of a variety of OE texts, which will also be discussed in their sociohistorical and cultural context. Participants will learn to use the main tools, both printed and electronic, for the study of the language. By the end of the course, they should be able to read OE texts on their own and to do further studies in the field.
Assessment and permitted materials
Assessment will be based on readings, home assignments and a written and oral exam at the end of the term.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Participants should be familiar with basic linguistic concepts, but no prior knowledge of OE is required. Regular class attendance, submission of home assignments and positive results in final exam are expected.
Examination topics
Home assignments, reading of the relevant chapters of the course book (see below) and familiarity with the content presented in class as well as the OE texts read in or prepared for class.
