From Carving Runestones to Digitizing Skaldic Poetry (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This volume collects papers that bring Germanic philology into the 21st century. The collection is distinguished by a multitude of approaches ranging from critical editing to theoretical linguistics. It covers a wide variety of subfields, including: Old Norse poetry, Runic inscriptions, onomastics, historical Germanic phonology and morphology, Old Norse morphosyntax, and the pedagogical import of philology in language departments. The volume is inspired by the work and teaching of Kari Ellen Gade, one of the most accomplished scholars of Old Norse philology, and the breadth of these contributions confirms her conviction that a philological interpretation of early poetry, literature, and language requires both a mastery and coordination of many subdisciplines. At a moment of uncertainty in teaching and research, this volume seeks to offer inspiration to future generations of philologists and historical linguists.
