Rethinking Middle English Linguistic And Literary Approaches

This volume presents Middle English studies as a modern discipline which unites linguistics, literature, philology, the history of ideas, textual studies including recent developments in the study of text types and genres, as well as the sociohistorical perspective. This large variety of both traditional and new approaches is mirrored in the four main parts of the book, starting with texts and text types, and moving on to vocabulary, syntax and morphology, and finally phonology and orthography. Aspects of language contact as well as corpus linguistic studies are also addressed in a number of contributions. Author are leading experts in their fields, and come from the United States, South Africa, and all parts of Europe.Ritt, Nikolaus is the author of 'Rethinking Middle English Linguistic And Literary Approaches', published 2004 under ISBN 9780820465500 and ISBN 082046550X.
