Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches: You will have to pass a written 90-minute test at the end of term as well as participate in discussions and do homework. This class counts as a proseminar Historische Sprachwissenschaft for Magister and Lehramt for non Bachelor students.
Inhalt: This proseminar will introduce students to the language and culture of the Anglo-Saxons. We shall be examining how the English language came to England, wht its place in the larger scheme of languages is, and what this earliest English looked like. This will allow us to follow the development of the language from its beginnings in the mid-fifth century to the twelfth century, when Old English turned into Middle English. In addition to doing some history, we shall approach topics related to historical phonology, historical morphology, and historical syntax.
