4.9/5 (31301 ratings)
Description:This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the 8th International Conference of Middle English, held in Spain at the University of Murcia in 2013. The contributions embrace a variety of research topics and approaches, with a particular interest in multilingualism, multidialectalism and language contact in medieval England, together with other more linguistically-oriented approaches on the phonology, syntax, morphology, semantics and pragmatics of Middle English. The volume gives a specialized stance on various aspects of the Middle English language and reveals how the interdisciplinary confluence of different approaches can shed light on manifold evidences of variation, contact and change in the period.Contents:Introduction (J. Camilo Conde-Silvestre and Javier Calle-Martin); Part 1: Languages in contact and variation in Middle English, multilingualism and multidialectism; Language contact and code-switching in multilingual late medieval England (Herbert Schendl); On medieval wills and the rise of written monolingual English (Laura Wright); Que ma langue lor est salvaige. The status of French in medieval England: An attitude study (Melanie Borchers); The competition between purveyen and providen in Late Middle English (Rafał Molencki) Middle English voiced fricatives and the argument from borrowing (Raymond Hickey)Radical word order change by substratal causation: English versus German (Theo Vennemann); Late medieval dialectal and obsolescent spellings in the sixteenth-century editions of the Kalender of Shepherdes (Hanna Rutkowska); Two Middle English texts in the light of the Málaga POS Tagger of Middle English (Laura Esteban-Segura); Part 2: Middle English morphology and syntax; s-Pluralisation in Early Middle English and word frequency (Ryuichi Hotta) Final -e in Gower's and Chaucer's monosyllabic premodifying adjectives.
